Yep, running V2.1-3 Build 2951. It appears that this firmware revision was released in March of 2000. I wonder if there is something newer but not yet released on their support site? > Also, I've copied Scott Long, who is now >the front-line maintaining this driver. Scott - I've got a couple folks >now that are reporting the Pablano adapters locking up under heavy load. I'm skeptical that my problem is the same as the heavy load problems. The system locks up during install as "chunks" of the distributions are being ftp'ed. The ftp was maxing out at around 32KB/sec. When the system locks up, I can change between the virtual consoles (to the shell and error log) but there are no interesting (ie. out of the ordinary) log messages displayed. After the lockup, I can run a few commands at the shell prompt but after three or four commands, the commands stop responding. Perhaps they are waiting for the filesystem?
