I'm having the same problem with a 2port card. After a cold boot, the transceivers are not found and I need to do a reset. Afterwards, everything is fine. > Is it a problem? For me, yes. I'm using one port to connect to my adsl provider. After a cold boot, this fails. > If it is not using a HW tranceiver, does this cause a loss in performance? I don't know. Can you try to reboot the machine and see if the problem goes away (ie. the transceivers are found)? Do you have a 2.4 kernel where the card works after a cold boot? So far nobody has come up with a solution and I don't reboot the machine that often. But it's "good" to know that I'm not alone with the problem. ;-( CU Michael.
