Re: SMC Ether Power 2

I had set the value to 10Mbps on the card, as well as setting
10Mbps on the packet driver's command line. Despite this my problem
persists, that is, requests are sent over the wire and bootp replies
are sent over the wire, but netboot never receives the reply. As
an experiment, I loaded a Crynwr utility after the packet driver
which dumps all packets on the wire, all packets were successfully
received and displayed. 

I don't know why there is a breakdown between netboot and the packet driver 
while receiving packets. Have you got the SMC9432 to work with netboot?
if so, any further comment you have would be greatly appreciated.
