Hi Martin,

I guess you meant to write K8E  S2865 - as I was able to find the Tyan 
manual for that one where it sets it out on page 5:

Integrated LAN Controllers
One Broadcom BCM5721 GbE controller
 - Operating at x1 PCI-E interface
 - ASF 2.0 support
 - Pin headers for front panel LAN LED
One nForce4 integrated MAC with
   Marvell 88E1111-CAA Gigabit Ethernet PHY
 - 32bit PCI v2.3 interface
 - IEEE802.3 compliant, WOL/PXE support
 - Pin headers for front panel LAN LED

Looks like a nice server motherboard - was it expensive?

There is a jumper set JP5/6 on the motherboard that allows you to enable 
LAN2 - see pages 12-14 where it says: "Support ASF2.0, for LAN2 only 
(Default)"

It seems funny to see those two rivals - nVidia and ATI both on the same 
board!

Are you using the B.57 driver or the GenMAC Windoze wrapper -my 
NetXtreme here has a 4-5 seconds , maybe more,  delay if using the 
GenMAC driver, none with the B57 native OS/2-eCS one.

Regards,
Mike
