I am going to be in England monday & tuesday, so could arrange for one of two of these sent to my colleagues that I am meeting with. IF this worth my time. Is there an ethercard addon for it? Preferably 4 ports? I am not finding any pointers.
I'm a bit confused here. This is the new Bone, not the original.
In any event, the Beagleboard XM is the one with the hub. (4 usb) Also note that board needs a special patch. I'm just watching ther list to see when it is available for opensuse 12.3.
Personally, I wish I got the Panda ES rather than the Beagleboard XM. I would have saved myself hours of debugging.
The ethernet on the Beagleboard XM runs off an internal usb port. Not the greatest design since it has to share I/O with the rest of the hub.

I want ethernet, not USB. Seeing later in this thread, I guess I pass on this one. Not what I am looking for.
One of these days, I will find something that matches what I want to work on.

So does the ethernet on the PandaES.
You are correct. It took me a while to find it, but the PCDuino from Sparkfun is the one with a direct ethernet connection rather than going through the USB hub, Assuming I read the block diagram correctly.
and specifically page two of the schematic
http://dlnmh9ip6v2uc.cloudfront.net/datasheets/Dev/PCDuino/pcDuino_V01_Schem...
The problem with the Beagleboard XM is the usb fails then the board can't be reached through ethernet to diagnose the problem, let alone do remote management. USB is always kind of touchy since the devices connected to it are not as shall we say as well disciplined as ethernet clients. So running your ethernet through the usb host seems like a bad idea.
I also thought this message was on the suse list when I responded. [I was clearing email while in line at a store.] I haven't tried fedora on the Beagleboard XM in a while, but the version I tried (17?) did NOT have the usb hub patch, Then 18 didn't work at all. In the mean time I was able to get Opensuse to add the patch to the kernel.
Info on the patch here:

And what about the Cubieboard?

The cubieboard is based on the Allwinner A10 SoC which has ethernet built in.
Work around the Allwinner SoCs is being done here. http://linux-sunxi.org
There is a Remix for Fedora to support the SoCs for the short term while work is still ongoing to main-line the linux-sunxi support.

There is also a Cubieboard Fedora Remix (F18) image available:

Mine died. I put in for a RMA but have heard nothing back.
It looks like it might have messed up any flash memory it might have. I.e it seems to load the BIOS, cause I can get a terminal open on it, but it won't boot - so maybe a driver for the SD card is corrupt or something? I even re-imaged the SD card and also tried a Fedora image on a separate card. Won't boot.
I'm considering the new beaglebone.

Can you forward a copy of the e-mail you sent to the RMA team and when you sent it?

There is no BIOS, only ROM that you can't touch. I boots directly off of the uSD card.
but it won't boot - so maybe a driver for the SD card is corrupt or something? I even re-imaged the SD card and also tried a Fedora image on a separate card. Won't boot.
Without *physical* damage, as long as the SD card is written properly, it'll boot. Are you sure you decompressed the SD card image you were writing? I suspect you likely had some issue writing the SD card.

I used the RMA form on the website.

After reading the support website I suspect that might be the case but was hoping it wasn't.

The board went from working and booting (Angstrom) on my desk to failing and not booting on my desk. So I don't suspect any physical damage. I followed the websites instructions on re-imaging the card. All I get in the terminal is the 'C' characters showing up. Pressing the reset button provides more 'C's. So it went from fully working to not booting without physically moving on my desk.
