We will be providing the network infrastructure indeed, but being aware of this will certainly be valuable if we face those sorts of problems, so thanks for that :)
Do you happen to know of any specific switches or hubs that would work reliably in this context?
- kingosticks 8y agoI'm sorry I don't remember what I have but [1] suggests a Netgear GS108. That link also explains a couple of the issues and they may have even been fixed in more recent bootcode versions. The 3B+ has a later version (and also has netboot enabled by default so you don't need to mess with program_usb_boot_mode).
