Nice, but I got this Znyx board for $70 on eBay thanks to the Dot-Com-Flamout syndrome.
In any event, I did get it working, but... how shall I put it... The PHY seems.... reluctant... to select the proper media type, especially when it's not 100 mbps (that is, when you plug one of the ports into a 10baseT hub). It sometimes needs to be pursuaded with quite a bit of coaxing. Needless to say, I am not convinced the 21143 miibus handler gizmos are 100% correct.
