ok ok, so i guess everyone is for integrated net http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#emo_dir#>/smile.gif there are reasons not to have it however... this board i am putting out will be the smallest uclinux board to date. and having said that, i have to choose very carefully what to put on it - and an rj45 jack is quite large when the board is small. but i agree, net is very important, and i feel most people would buy the addon anyway.

if people are interested, i can put out more details of the board - but the general goal is to make it very small, and very power efficient.

IMO, your&#39;re right and I think Ethernet is not mandatory, especially for application as you described. For example, replacing Ethernet with other IP (such as VGA controller) may be more valuable for some kind of application.

And yes , I&#39;m definitely very interested having more details about your board http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif
