Hi,
on http://rhombus-tech.net/community_ideas/router/news/, the text and picture feature Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Just one sentence mentions 10/100 Ethernet in passing.
IMHO that is misleading. AFAIU the QCA9531 provides Fast Ethernet only, *NOT* Gigabit Ethernet. Thus please change any occurrences of GBE/GbE/Gbe or similar with FE, perhaps excluding the very first sentence.
While Fast Ethernet is good enough for most uses, it is not Gigabit Ethernet. Please correct the web page.
Thanks, Erik

erik: it's an editable web page, being a wiki, so you can do that yourself. to stop spam i've had to set a password for creating accounts, and it's "passwordreqd".
so whilst i'm delighted that you've highlighted some errors, the wording you're using "please correct the page" is not appropriate to use for a libre community project. the words you _meant_ to use are, "how can this page be changed" or "would someone like to *consider* changing the page" or "can i invite you to *consider* changing the page".
basically anything which gives the expactation that someone *will* act on your behalf to action your wishes, when you're part of the community by being here and i've provided you with the right - and the trust - to action your wishes without immediate oversight or direct permission being required.
so. do you want to try editing the page yourself, or does anyone else want to action erik's valuable contribution?

Please excuse my insensitivity (or not, as you like, I do not intend to make you feel obligated to do anything). No offense intended.

I have changed the text to use Fast Ethernet instead of the incorrect Gbe.
I have not changed the image.
Would you like to consider changing what is probably text in some CAD program to read "FE" instead of "GBE", re-export the schematic as an image and upload the more correct version? I expect that to look much better than me trying to change the image with an image editor.
IMHO promoting a better specification than intended to deliver is dangerous for the project's reputation.
Thanks, Erik

done... and i used... an image editor :) (gimp 2.8. why is gimp 2.8 so much worse a UI than 2.6??)

yehyeh absolutely - i just didn't know. and have so much else to do, i didn't check which is why this is a public project so that people _can_ make it known.
so, thank you eric.
ok fast ethernet is just another name for 10/100. always learning something new.
btw one thing i will be doing is splitting that PCB into two (stacked). funnily enough the PCB with EOMA68 on it will be.... a Mini-Desktop! i'll just need to use the exact same PCB4 from... the laptop project! strange how it's all sort-of fitting together...

How will this affect e.g. the presence of HDMI?
not at all.
