I had exactly same problem on two netra T1 105 (with 440Mhz CPU and 512M RAM) but with network cards. I have tried a qfe pci (with 4 hme chips), double fxp cards and single fxp ones. All are correctly detected, but when trying to send a packet to any NIC, packet don't reach networks. Seems that the PCI port on such machine is more or less buggy... /Xavier
