I've got the following problem: I had my box connected to the hub with a 5m
cable and everything worked fine. Then I moved the hub, the new cable is
about 30m long. Now I get only a 10Mb connection with the onboard chip.
I installed an other card with a 21142 - that works with the same cable.
Perhaps (this version of) the 21143 is more picky about electrical conditions?
MfG, Ulrich
