yeah this USED to work in 0.9-something, but doesnt anymore. my friend
and i have the same problem with our 3c509 using the AUI connector. we
have to cold boot to get the hard to work, making remote restarts
impossible. if mycroft wants to look at it, i can get him a card. i've
reported this multiple times to Herb Peyerl but he says "works fine for me"
maybe it depends on the external interface used?
