hmm. you are right, they are very different protocols, but something gives me pause.
per the manual, 2 (JSLIM5 and JSLIM7) of my motherboard's 8 Slim SAS x8 ports can function as either "CPU G3 PCIe / SATA." what does that mean to you? if I get a couple Slim SAS to SATA cables, would you expect...
i guess that answers it. the LSI3008 controller present on the H11SSW-i/C/NT is missing from the iN. shame the SAS3 HBA interface can't fall back to NVMe/PCIe.
thank you rollo!
here's the question, and maybe it's obvious to some of you.
i've got a 2U SuperMicro server with their SAS3 expander built-in. i installed an old stinky H11SSW-iN from ebay on it. (if you sold it to me, thanks!). no matter how I connect the cables, the motherboard (running a stinky old 7551P)...
I guess true wireless freedom will remain in old hardware at least until there's a WiFi 6 AP block in GNURadio.
At least I can use an OpenWRT VM on my x86 machine to do firewalling/routing and offload the WiFi duties to another piece of hardware.
Great reply, Stephan. I have an AR928X card already that supports hosting on 2.4 GHz channels and does work with ordinary hostapd+ath9k. It just feels a little dumb to not share more than 21 Mbps of the 10GE link with wireless devices.
What really confuses me is how people on the OpenWRT forum...
I suppose what I'm doing here is way too stupid to be even technically feasible today.
There aren't any good PCIe cards that support WiFi APs, even including the QNAP part. I'll just use the server (or a VM within it) as a router and add a normal AP on a 1GE link downstream later.
I have a... fairly dumb setup. But hear me out.
My home has 10GE fiber connectivity. If I have a server with some 10GE Ethernet ports and I want to bolt on a modern access point that can make use of the 10GE pipe, what is the fastest PCIe WiFi access point I can buy?
I don't have a 10GE switch...
Oh, that makes a lot of sense. I guess it's a bit more like a lottery though - have heard of many enthusiasts getting CPUs that barely work at all let alone overclock well.
I've been stuck in this quagmire for quite some time.
Right now, the whole demand distribution for GPUs is out of whack:
Gamers want the new hotness with 12 GB of HBM2 to play Cyberpunk
Cryptominers want any and every GPU at any price to mine useless entropy (so they can buy more GPUs, of...
