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. > Tha sounds like a good idea.
