I've got a dead SMC Ultra (8216) Combo card here. So what, you ask. :-) It's exhibiting the same general symptoms that were discussed quite some time ago after some other card's probe code toasted a number of SMC cards - apparently the configuration gets totally blasted somehow. This is consistent with the fact that the SMC ezstart program crashed during the middle of reconfiguring the card, and the card has been dead since. The jumpers have no effect (apparently). But: I remember that somebody wrote a quick little program to "rejuvenate" the cards after such a catastrophe. I can't seem to find the mailing list archive, so maybe somebody could suggest a pointer to where I should look or who I should be talking to... I just hate to see a good useful piece of hardware toasted. :-( Thanks, ...
