Hi all,

Further to this problem. I downloaded a diag. tool
(originally designed for Linux). Ran it and came up
with the following report:

=======================8<=============================
vpn# ./eepro -p ec00 -t 0 -e
eepro100-diag.c:v2.05 6/13/2001 Donald Becker
(becker@scyld.com)
 http://www.scyld.com/diag/index.html
Assuming a Intel i82557/8/9 EtherExpressPro100 adapter
at 0xec00.
Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 EEPROM contents:
  Station address 00:A0:C9:90:18:C6.
  Receiver lock-up bug exists. (The driver work-around
*is* implemented.)
  Board assembly 668081-004, Physical connectors
present: RJ45
  Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1.
==========================>8==========================

I'm not quite sure what this means! It mentions
something about a receiver lock-up bug???

Does anyone have any knowledge of this bug and if 4.3S
has the work around.
