Hmm... get one of the HP NC7771 GbE NICs off of ebay (I got one for
1EUR) and reflash it to identify itself as a DEGPA-TX[1] and enjoy the
increased network speed? That'd probably the simplest option and one
which provides a seamless upgrade path to your existing solution. And
it'd be faster than using the TLZ10 too.
If you want to go that path and need help, I should be able to provide
you additional information/missing bits.
