Hi. I have a few of the Ethernet cards referenced in the subject. Now I know these are (supposed to be) supported, but I am having problems. At boot, the card is detected properly, but then it enables the Thinwire/BNC port! Ummmm...like this card doesn't have a BNC port. I tried various mutations of ifconfig (link0, -link0, link1, -link1, link2, -link2, -altphys, altphys) to no avail. The card is plugged into the hub, the hub works, and the cable works. The yellow "READ ME FIRST" document that came with the cards has this to say: "This EtherPower 10/100 network card requires the latest SMC network drivers because of its higher performance and added feature content. It will not operate with drivers provided with older EtherPower 10/100 network cards." Uh oh. I assume the de driver is designed for these "older" cards? I checked the CVS logs and did not see anything relevant to this. This is the DEC 21140 chipset. Anybody have any magic tips? Thanks. -BD
