   Hello,   
      
   A few weeks ago, one of my 2 EtherNATs broke down.   
   Then, I switched with the one on my second machine, that I only   
   turned on when needed to backup the main one.   
   Since then, the second EtherNAT has been working very often, and   
   then started becoming unstable, making the system hang while file   
   transfers from/to the PC, just like did the previous one before   
   it stopped working.   
   I've sent the first board to Sweden to repair, and I hoped it   
   could be fixed before the second one would stop working too.   
   Unfortunately, the second board decided to fail yesterday, while   
   transfering some important files to my PC.   
   After a couple of retries, I gave up, unplugged the board, plugged   
   the old EtherNEC back in the ROM port, replaced the EtherNAT driver   
   with the EtherNEC's one, and then could access the net again.   
   I am very angry that those very expensive boards only worked a few   
   months - less than a year, in fact, because it took some months   
   from the time I got them and the one I decided to switch from   
   MagiC! to MiNT so I could use them -, while older less expensive   
   boards still work fine after many years (at least 5, IIRC).   
   Well, in fact, I had to switch down the MoBo from 25 to 20 MHz for   
   the computer to boot with the EtherNEC. Otherwise, it would reboot   
   again and again after copying the TOS in RAM.   
   But, now, file transfers last very long, at only 11~18 kb/s, where   
   they reached up to 140~180 with the EtherNAT.   
   So I am wondering if the driver I use (Enec6.xif) is the good one.   
   Do some of you there use EtherNEC with CT60/63'ed Falcons ?   
   Which driver do you use ?   
      
   Regards,
