Just take a look to the DEC chipset : if it's the brand new 21140-AC, you may encounter problems... I am currently testing the 2.1.6 Release wich seems to support better this chipset (the light won't shutdown anymore), but I still can't make it choose the 10baseT or 100baseT UTP port... I think someone's currently working on it. Let me know if you've any fresh news...
