Hi there,

We have just installed a Micom/Interlan NP100 Ethernet board on our
VAX 11/750 running 4.3BSD. After rebooting the Vax, the controller worked
for one or two days, then failed to respond, though both of the green LEDs
were on.

I tried to reset it with the usual sequence:
	ifconfig ix0 down
	npload np.image
	sleep 10
	ifconfig ix0 up
This helped only for a few minutes, then the controller failed again.

I was first suspecting the controller itself, because the first time we
installed it, the LEDs were showing a kernel failure. We sent the board
back to the distributor for repair.

Before sending it back again, I would like to know from other NP100 users
if they encountered the same problems, and how they solved it.
Does someone know how to use the npdump facility ?

Thanks for your help.
