You just give them a MAC address and tell them to start.Is it gigabit ethernet? If not, than forget about any supercomputing and we should... SMELL BULLSHIT instead of supercomputing [youtube][/youtube]Update: Yep it is Orange Pi One – 10/100M Ethernet

How is the Ethernet to SPI being done?
Ok figured out this much, Application, Transport, Network layers are all in software. Then the Link layer is going to be SPI interface. The active components with the wires are the physical layer.So the encapsulation is being routed in software to port over the SPI.then the SPI to ethernet would be just a dummy converter.Very interesting.

Newer linux kernel supports it out of the box, so you just need to recompile the kernel, and it will appear as a network card.
