    Looking for help with Asante MacCON+ LC - Network Card

    Bumping this to share an update that I have tried with an old Ethernet 10Base-T hub and I was still not able to get it to work. My next step is to attempt in reflashing the EPROM.

    Hello everyone, first time poster here. I am looking for help in getting an Asante MacCON+ LC NIC to work with my LC475. I have connected through an RJ45 cable and tried a 10/100 Switch assuming that the link negotiation would be an issue. I don't know if it is. Only the green LED comes on. I...
