I have a J200 that had a working NIC back in April, which now successfully net-boots up to the point of trying to get it's IP, at which point I see bootp requests (and their answer) on the bootp server, but it never accepts the packet. Since we tftpbooted, I find it hard to suspect hardware, and rather expect that it's something b0rked in the 2.4.0->2.4.6 transition. lamont
