OK, good to know.

Could you check on the router if packets are received ? This seems to me 
like the first thing we heard about the CX cards: the Rx part was not 
working properly. Supposedly, the later driver versions (at most 1 year 
old) should handle this. It might help to send us the output of 
vortex-diag which prints the manufacturing date; I seem to remember that 
the very first CX cards needed a higher reset time than the rest.
