When i have install endian this port don't work but there is work around. Plese follow this post : http://efwsupport.com/index.php?topic=1132.0 there is a compiled driver for endian. you download it, and after follow the step : option 1 or option 2 for install. for my the option 2 don't work. but the option 1 work fine...the link is stable, but there is a problem. when you go in endian via webgui you don't enter in the menu named state--> state of the network because there is a various problem --the gui not responding or the interface go down... another the sistem don't se the traffic meter for this port. but the other services work fine for me .
