<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> I do not believe ethernet will
work on a DD2 blade on a later kernel just by using an older version of
Spidernet. My understanding is changes were made in the kernel to support
DD3 blades and these changes are not backwards compatible, and THAT is
the reason it won't work. If by some chance you do get this working please
let me know as there are a lot of people who still have DD2 blades. </font>

The current spidernet driver will not work with DD2 blades. You should
try <br>
to use the one from 2.6.16BSC4.2.X.<br>
