Two pb's:
1. It's 905 ("c" I think), not 509. sorry.
2. We already had one 905c in that machine and on that link that
DIDN'T work (symptoms: same blinking 10 mbit LED, and traffic LED NOT
blinking with normal intensity, and while traffic seemed to pass ok,
pinging from the Cisco to the 905 failed, as did pinging to the nets
behind the 905's machine).
Replacing the first 905 with another fixed the pinging, but the
blinking persists so we are pretty sure something is wrong, on the
edge of being broken.
We are pretty sure the blinking speed LED is some sign of distress,
just trying to find out what it means so we can un distress it.
thanks,
Len
