Dreamplug from Globalscale

[holo]

Hello,

I recovered of a friend a DreamPlug from GlobalScale. Just wondering if anyone has already used pfSense on that material:

Any information would be nice.

Thanks!

Dual network ports--neat! A variation on the Sheevaplug, which is an ARM processor. They don't give a lot of specifics. http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/FreeBSD_8.0_(current)_Plug_Computer_Distribution has some information.

That's a nifty looking little piece of hardware. Let us know how it goes!

Hi,


Sure, I will begin investigations and setup the next week.

Have they fixed the overheating issues with the Shivaplug and Guruplug? They were enough to put me off seriously looking at those options. For a bit extra and nearly the same power draw, you can spring for a nettop (100Mb and VLANs, with built in console, keyboard and UPS) or a nettop (Gbit with VLANs), both with enough grunt to stomp the ARM alternatives.

Edit: I see they have fixed this issue, or at least attempted it.

This site has patches and packages for FreeBSD on Seagate Dockstar, a Marvell Kirkwood plug computer like your Dreamplug. It may be of some help.
