APU3 ethernet can't transmit

[Stefan Bethke]

Argh! It was my el cheapo desktop switch. I tried two ports and two cables, they were working with my laptop, but not with the APU. Only when I hooked up a different device this evening and couldn't talk to it did I think of the switch. Powercycling "fixed" it. Time for an upgrade, I think.

The i210 datasheet has a table with all modes the LEDs support, but it doesn't mention this fast blinking. The right LED is on constantly, which should indicate a link. This is the same on all three ports, irrespective of configuration.
