No problem at all. I can try to measure this with a socket wattmeter I have lying around.

The power implications aren't likely to he a deal breaker, but I do love the idea of operating an application server at approx 7W (that said, the same power envelope is also achievable on certain x86-64 home server platforms now).

Right.Meanwhile the on-board Ethernet port could become more reliable with newer software or some tweaks ?

That's my hope, as mentioned elsewhere I'm still awaiting uboot updates for broader OS support, so I guess I'm fine to hang on to it.

Perhaps I picked this up a little early, though it has been fun to tinker and benchmark with.
