Early rev DC21140s had problems with 25Mhz buses. If you look at your board, you should see the DC21140 has a 21-40673-01 marking. You need a DC21140 with a 21-40673-02 (or higher) marking. Contact your reseller for a replacement 10/100 board with a DC21140 with the right revision. -- Matt Thomas Internet: matt@3am-software.com 3am Software Foundry WWW URL: http://www.3am-software.com/bio/matt.html Westford, MA Disclaimer: I disavow all knowledge of this message
