Nope, thats actually an ADSL router with its own operating system which just presents an ethernet interface to the host.

Maybe it's better than typical consumer routers. But I'd bet it still does awful queuing stuff that you cannot control.




Hm, are you sure? It has a jumper to change it to "PCI" instead of "LAN", which I guess would expose directly a PPP interface, but I can't seem to find any documentation on that feature.

Edit: well, you were right. It seems to be a full blown Linux-based router, just with a weird form factor: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Embedded/Infineon/Danube/ADSL2...
