My FA410TX works, but the throughput is a bit weird. Here's my test results plugged into a 10/100 switch with the peer on 100baseTX/full duplex: line speed duplex throughput 10baseT/UTP half 3.8 KB/s 10baseT/UTP full 1 MB/s 100baseTX half 20 KB/s 100baseTX full 500 KB/s I can only believe that this is a combination of the bandwidth limitations of PCCard strangling the 100baseTX modes and the switch throttling the low speed modes. Low bandwidth results showed a burstyness indicative of dropped packets. But to answer the question, at no point did the card fail to respond to 'ifconfig ed0 media' type operations, and the only hiccup was that when I first stuck the card in I got a couple of timeouts while the miibus tried to figure out what media to use. The laptop is a Vaio Z505JE, which probes as a Ricoh RL5C475 Cardbus bridge on a non-shared interrupt.
