Hi, thank you for the reply. I'll give it a try tomorrow. But I assume this is not a kernel - configuration problem. Because the development board that came with the dnp9200 was running well with the same kernel 2.6.10 + same configuration. So it must be a hardware problem that linux can't handle. I assume it can't handle some noise on the bus lines, but I really don't have a clue - that's just my "feeling".
