I've manage to get an SMC8508T, which works great. However, my main desktop (Iwill DK8N) is being a bit termperamental with it using the onboard NIC. I plugged it into the switch and it worked fine for a day or two, but the next time I booted, it complained that the network cable was unplugged. Looking at the switch, the Link and Gigabit light are switching on and then off again, about once every 3 seconds. The lights on the nic are off. This happens regardless of port or cable.
Plugging the cable into my Cisco 837 router makes it work fine.
Other hosts plugged into the switch are all 100Mbit, except for an IBM thinkpad t40 which is gigabit and has no issues.
What's the deal with this?
