First of all, I found and downloaded the Duet User Guide and followed
*to the letter* the instructions for setting up a Hybrid installation
after doing a factory reset of the Controller. That was successful in
my workroom. So off we go to the loft (where the Receiver is to be
installed), and as per usual: no ethernet port lights.

Well folks, you're not going to believe this - I know it floored me. I
decided to try the Receiver plugged in to various ethernet switches
that are around the house. It worked in all of them except the one in
the loft, which was happy to talk to various other devices but wouldn't
play nice with the Receiver. I guess it must just be some weird
incompatibility between the chipsets used in the SBR and that
particular switch. So I did some swapping around of switches and we're
in business :-)

If anyone's interested, the switch that wouldn't talk to the SBR was a
PC-Line 5-port one. (I believe PC-Line is PC World's house brandname
here in the UK). The one I replaced it with was another cheap 5-port
one marked as "Edimax" (no, I've never heard of them either).
