Can't you just ignore the LED's? As long as it works? I think the
explanation is,
that the LED's are controlled differently on all tulip NIC's, so to make
them
work would be a big job.
How do you test the speed of the transfers? How fast are the machines?
Which switch are the NIC's connected to? Does it autonegotiate full
duplex?
