I am using this both with a diskless (rom-boot) machine and with a standard disked machine. One thing that i did find was that with the diskless machine, the boot would work up until the probes were run, then the kernel wouldn't find the card and panic. Increasing the delay from 1000 to 10000 on or about line 213 in if_ep.c seemed to fix the problem. hope this helps. erich.
