One thing to note; there are two versions of the WD8013.  The WD8013EBT 
works the same as the old WD8003E and the WD8003EBT.  The WD80x3EB requires
a little extra programming at setup time.  The EBT version works with
Interactive TCP/IP 1.2 but the EB version has problems in the current
release.  We do have an update in the works.

The EB vs. EBT doesn't seem to show up on the box, but should be marked
on the board itself.  This could be a difference people are seeing but
not realizing.  The other difference is that the EB versions are software
setup while the EBT versions are jumper setup.  Unless the driver(s) in
question determine the difference and do the appropriate setup, there
can be problems.
