That might have been us.  We got one of the first seed EtherTalk
boards, which is still in our seed Mac II, and it does wedge on a busy
Ethernet (like ours :-)), which we reported last year when we found
the problem.  HOWEVER, this board is several revs behind the
production one.  I have used production ones, and have never seen the
problem on any other machine.

I think they work great.
