Wifi Cards

Personal page to track some of my Wifi cards and dongles and where they are.. (hope now things will stabilize)... Found some cards initially myself at minipci.biz and thanks for their sponsoring (card and adapters) as well!

PCI

The 2U case

This is a 4x4-slot PCIe extender setup each with possibly a Mikrotik RB14e holding up-to 4 miniPCIe cards. The 4x4 are attached through another 4-slot PCIe extender (initially only wanted a 4port PCIe w/o further intermediate slots but that did not work for other reasons in this setup). All this is connected to an ARM64 machine, so in theory up-to 64 mPCIe cards. I do understand that for bandwidth this does not work but for testing lots of chipsets and driver updates and to make sure packets pass, it does help a great deal not having to swap cards every other day. Currently I have disconnected 2 of the 4-slot extenders in order to save power until I do really need them. Sometimes one of the PCIe cards (individual or RB14e) move in/out of the box to an amd64 machine.

With bhyve/arm64 coming I am still looking for a high CPU count machine with some memory and possibly 4+ real PCIe slots at least to make better use of the setup.
