Hi all,

I recently put a DE500-BA 100 Mbit ethernet card in an alphastation
200. The firmware (revision 6.3) does not recognize the card, but a
kernel built with the appropriate line
 controller tu1 at pci0 slot 12
does.
 Since the firmware did not recognize the DE500-BA, I could not set the
speed at the console prompt, but with a "speed 200" argument ti ifconfig,
the card seems to be running perfectly as fast full duplex.

Should I worry? Is it a fw revision problem? Another AS200 with fw
revision 6.9 recognized the card w/o problems.

Yours
