The iMX6 only has one ethernet interface. Some boards I've seen have onboard USB ones. In that case you also can easily use an external USB ethernet interface instead. The iMX6 has a single PCIe Interface, which is useable on wandboard with Fairy baseboard in form of an Mini-PCIe slot. Not sure how easy it is to get a Min-PCIe NIC however. If you are capable of soldering you can use SATA cables to wire PCIe, sounds strange, but physical SATA transport is very similar to PCIe. With original wandboard carrier the PCIe pins are reachable under the CPU module as round solderable pads. In MIPS world however there are many more options because they are popular is serveral kind of plasticrouters, you can as well reuse many of those cheap devices under FreeBSD. -- B.Walter <bernd@bwct.de> http://www.bwct.de Modbus/TCP Ethernet I/O Baugruppen, ARM basierte FreeBSD Rechner uvm.
