Well, sort-of. I believe the issue is this: at boot, we check the ethernet chip to see if it has link. If it doesn't, we switch to PNA.

Problem is, link can take a while to be attained when connected to some 100mbit hubs (the 10mbit silicon in the receiver doesn't support the low-level (not visible beyond the PHY) speed negotiation stuff that 100mbit silicon does as far as I know).

Could be tweaked, but then you're into the risky business of reflashing the unit, which can leave you with a brick that needs special equipment to resurrect (serial debug dongle).
