I don't know how I would test that. Any suggestions? I tried enabling the full packet debugging, but that didn't show any more packets than tcpdump. Which is what I'd expect. There is of course also a possibility of a failing adapter. This is just a single PCI-card. Allthough it appeares to have a PCI-bridge with three copies of an ordinary lanstreamer I can't rule out the possibility that there is some common hardware that make all three fail. I just don't know much about it. Got the card brand new and shrink-wrapped a few months ago for US$5 (yup, five bucks) on eBay :-) But it has of course been stored somewhere for the 8 years since it was produced... > I've got 2 lanstreamers and a MAU here.

Thanks for your interest in this. I must admit that I didn't really expect anyone to put much work into it. I just hope I haven't done stupid, causing the failure myself.
