before i change my mine, how many of you guys would buy such LAN-addon board right now?
Hm, what about WLAN modules?

I would be interested in those

WLAN can be something like:
- USB stick in front panel, like VT6656 (useless, evt. with some modification can work as "remote usb storage" to save setups/screenshots,
but no shell access)
- USB to WLAN adapter on the back side (useless and unecessary overhead, need to be small (can be but linux not necessary) host translating
USB to WLAN)
- real memory mapped WLAN module, haven't investigated which chipset can be connected, can be done directly chipset to i/o port or indirectly.
in my opinion only the real memory mapped WLAN module with chipset directly connected to i/o port make sense, everythign else is overhead or unnecessary/useless protocol/port translation from/to/whatever/to/WLAN.
But let's see what HanTekway/Elec3i will develop. The LAN module i build is 10mbit (CS8900A based), fast enough for whatever you need.
Of course i could create a DM9000 based addon board to get 100Mbit, but i'm too lazy (there is ready compiled CS8900A module installed
on HanTekway DSOs - this might change in the future but for now it is sufficient).
