Hi all,

I experience strange problems with this Gigabit card. It attaches
correctly, but there is no activity until I set one time the
promiscous mode, after that it works.

So I wonder why this happens. Is something wrong with the filter ?

Maybe we just have to turn on/off promiscous mode in bge_init(),
so the card works as it should.

Funny thing is that the link led doesn't work either ;) I guess
we have to turn on some strange bit ;) I'll read the specs.

If someone has a idea, I'd be happy.

Martin
