I've not heard of one of these devices failing after only five years, 10+ is more common.
If you don't replace the chip then you will find that you are no longer able to store parameters such as which device the system boots off reliably. For that matter it won't store local-mac-address?=true reliably either, so not replacing the device will simply bite you at some later date. -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
