ok - I have 12 CompaQ EN's sitting next to me aswell. Exactly the same timeout
problem. 3.5.1-RELEASE also refuses to acknowledge their existence. We have
tried a netgear 10Base hub at autonegotiate and fixed at 10Mbps aswell as
through a Netgear FS 116 16 port switch with the same effect. We tried locking
the card at 100Mbps which 'seemed' to cure the problem but our solution for the
time being has been to use Pro 100/10B's.
