Derek,

What is the version number on the chip?

We are now shipping the cards with Etherboot 5.0.5, and there
has been lots of work done within Etherboot to work better
with various Bios implementations.

If the card has a sticker that says v1.6, then it is the
older version of the chip.

Let me know, and if you have the older chips, I'll make
sure you get an upgrade.

Thanks,

Jim McQuillan
