And rightly so... I don't recommend using the driver in an unsupervised
environment until it has been proven stable for you. I have one in my machine
here at work that has worked perfectly from day one. I have two more just
like it (and two of the newer ones with the Rev. A chip) and they both have the
odd -- and often deadly -- habit of sometimes blindly retransmitting the TX
ring. You'll be surprised how fast that thing can push packets on the wire :-)
[If I let it run free in such cases, it will "capture" a Cisco 7000 from a fast
ethernet port.]
But don't take it out on Mr. Becker... in his words, the Speedo3 was not
designed by humans (no human can possibly think like that.) Additionally,
Intel has not been able to program it correctly -- and they made it.
