[SLUG] optus@nospam.home ISA ethernet card?

["Alex" <bian_les@nospam.hotmail.com>]

Hi,
I was supplied with an ISA SMC EtherEZ ethernet card from optus, and trying 
to use the card under OpenBSD results in a message saying that the NIC is 
corrupt(?), and that it is trying to send an illegally sized packet of 4000 
or so bytes (??).
I have not tried getting this card working under Linux, though that is 
because I could not get it installed on my ISA-bus based 486. I have an 
NE2000 based card that works fine under OpenBSD, and surprisingly, both 
cards are recognised by the OpenBSD installer, which by the way, is the best 
installer I have ever used ;) ...
Anyway, I know there are quite a few people on the list that are using 
optus@nospam.home cable, has anyone used or had any experience with these cards? 
Should I demand a replacment card?
Thanks,
Alex
