Yong-Hyeon received my hardware yesterday. Before I shipped it, I made note of the silkscreening on numerous chips: Atheros AR8121-AL1E = GigE NIC + PHY Marvell 88SE6102-NNC1 = ATA/IDE controller Nuvoton/Winbond W83667HG-A = Super I/O + hardware monitoring -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
