Dave,

The APU1 uses the=C2=A0Realtek RT= L8111E - these have drivers that work better in windows than in Linux. Main= ly I use OpenWRT, ipFire & pfSense, but I've also tested Ubuntu and= other Linux distros on it. For the APU2 ECC Ram was one of the reasons I b= ought it - server class components for less than $130 is a bargain on this = small boards.

Regarding BQL - I'm unsure if th= at feature/functionality has been implemented yet on the driver for this de= vice, but I can take a look later this week.=C2=A0

I have always had very good results for the intel ethernet and they
were the first to get good bql support. so +1 for the design overall.
ECC! on home gear!

what OS do you run on them? (I am primarily debian/ubuntu/openwrt, but
in this case I think I'd lean ubuntu or debian)

(it's very cool to have coreboot, too)
