I won't be holding my breath if you don't mind.  I've witnessed the
introduction of net4801 and net5501 (the latter would come with a
19" case and pci riser do you remember?) and believe in net6501 when
I've tested a production sample and seen that it works well.

I'm not trying to sound negative on Soekris here, I really like their
hardware once it's available but have learned not to trust promises
about availability.
