Loren, Check out the latest IXP1200 Spec Update for info on exactly how much trouble you will have. ;) This document can be found on the IXA SDK, but if you need a copy, let me know.

Hello List, It would seem that I am lucky enough to have an Evaluation Kit with A0 Silicon. I was able to glean this bit of information from a helpful source:

Intel released 3 versions I know of, each less crippled then the last. The B0 parts are useable. The A0 parts have a number of serious bugs.

How bad are the A0 parts? What are the bugs? Thanks in advance! -Loren
