Hi Royce, thank you for the link. I've read this issue description and I'm not sure if it helps. I don't have any "watchdog timeouts" and my EEPROM data looks clean: Interface EEPROM Dump: Offset 0x0000 xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx ffff ffff 0x0010 0053 0103 026b 2001 17aa 109a 8086 80df 0x0020 0000 2000 7e54 0000 0014 00da 0004 2700 0x0030 6cc9 3150 073e 040b 298b 0000 f000 0f02 (I masked out the MAC address) -- Martin
