Definitely :-) 
But I now doubt that it has anything to do with the NIC card.
I'm trying to get some feedback from the Russel's BIOS I've downloaded in Bank
#3 of my EBSA-285 with a JTAG utility from Intel (binary only :-().

Built as an 1.05 ELF bios with
TEXTADDR        = 0x410c00c0
and -DDEBUG tailed to the definiton of CFLAGS in the Makefile

The POST test from ARM, downloaded in any of the banks with the same JTAG
utility, works perfectly. And generate fabulous printf on the terminal.

With the BIOS, we don't even get at the point where we can read the first
>printf("EBSA285 Linux BIOS v"VERSION" (c) 1998-1999 Russell King
>([EMAIL PROTECTED])\n\n");
in start_main.
Not even the little custom printf we've added on the first line of start_main
get outputed to terminal.

Sometimes, the bios resulting from mkaif bios.elf is smaller than bios.elf
itself, sometimes it is bigger.  Without any pods on the EBSA to plug a logic
analyser on, I wonder how we can understand what is happening...

I guess I'll have to dig even further in the BIOS code and the resulting
disassembly, oh, and use the Force, of course, though my midi-chlorian count
has been quite low recently ...

Unless somebody has an idea ? ;-)
