That's great! They do have a newer net2282 board though. That's not supported by Linux? Also, seems like if I want to use this board to resemble an USB mass storage (which is backed by a ramdisk), I will have to get the firmware which comes with this company's RDK package? Sadly net2280's RDK isn't available in the market anymore (though I believe I can still get the evaluation board or controller. Should I get an evaluation board or controller?) I am trying to contact PLX's technical support, however it seems like PLX is very restrictive on who the provide technical support to..... Thanks a lot.
