I do not know.  I did not have a cable plugged in to the 3c940 port at
the time.  I do remember some message about not being able to set up
a jumbo frame.  I was going to plug a cable into the port to see if
it worked but I was not able to get the module to load again without
locking up the machine.

Yes, but not until I get home later this evening as the 3c940 is on my
home system.
