    Can someone clear something up for me? Is the lack of gigabit LAN in the image due to:

    a) no support in Broadcom SDK yet. Will come eventually.
    b) kernels below 3.5 do not support something necessary
    c) the BCM core requires a support chip to operate. The Vu+ solution was not just a temporary fix.

    Think I've answered myself - the BCM7356 spec says it is MII compliant (fast ethernet) not GMII compliant (gigabit ethernet) so it was never going to be gigabit

    Well, as you might now, the VU+ Solo2 has the same chipset but really does support Gb-lan.

    The Vu+ solo2 has an additional GMII capable chip (RTL8211EG) on the motherboard.

    Whatever way they fix it: GB also has (had??) Gb-LAN in their specs of the Quad.

    Possibly, but I refer to the specs the manufacturer has (had??) on it's site.

    The manual supplied with mine says it does 10/100/1000 Mbit (in other words GIGABIT) It quotes it at least 3 or 4 times in the book.
    The homepage too says it does gigabit.
