Yes, I have a patch that was submitted from the community. There are two issues we are currently working on regarding the patch. First the issue is testing, since these boards were not made by Intel, we do not have access to any of the hardware for testing. Apparently there were several "flavors" of the non-MII boards out there. Second issue is the matter of regression testing all of our hardware with this patch to ensure that it does not break any of the Intel supported hardware. The biggest issue has been the time factor, not having the time to work on the this. -- Cheers, Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
