The netcards don't seem to want to talk to our 10baseT network properly anymore, at least after a couple of hours they stop talking to the network and I need to go find the console and just basically frob with them a bit... It doesn't seem to matter what I do from the console, just have to ping -f the broadcast address or change the ifconfig settings (e.g. add or remove an option like link1 or something). After this the cards work fine again for a couple of hours... Well, until they are inactive again for a while... Steve Roome - Vision Interactive Ltd.
