We shouldn't exceed 256 bytes, since 256 bytes is the "page" size of the EEPROM. The most that we read in one block is either ETH_MODULE_SFF_8079_LEN or (ETH_MODULE_SFF_8472_LEN - ETH_MODULE_SFF_8079_LEN), both of which result in no more than 256 byte reads. -- RMK's Patch system: http://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line in suburbia: sync at 13.8Mbps down 630kbps up According to speedtest.net: 13Mbps down 490kbps up
