Hi all.
I’ve come to two possibilities to our issues with this setup, one of which I can test for, and the other I’m not sure about:
We have an RB14 that’s configured for a 5 volt bus – the machine we’re trying to use it in is PCI version 2.1, and most likely just 3.3 volts on the PCI bus. (not an RB2xx system)
My question is, does the RB14 figure it out and adjust accordingly, or do I need to get 3.3v-only version of the RB14?
Bump
My question is, does the RB14 figure it out and adjust accordingly, or do I need to get 3.3v-only version of the RB14?
I’ll try another RB14 and if it comes down to it, I’ll reinstall MT. (I figure maybe, just maybe, the /system reset didn’t clear it all out a while ago.)
If all else fails, I’ll see if I can get my hands on some newer hardware and retry it.
Are there any other devices on th same PCi bus that want 3.3V ? Try only to stay with the RB + 5V cards on the bus and I think it will work (not sure for that …)
Other than the RB14, I have just one Realtek 8139D Ethernet card.
I think I’ve got it working now.. and it could’ve been a simple configuration error on my wireless USB client. 
I’ll let you know.
So, I did get it working.. but now I’m having another problem: pings to the MT spike to 1,000ms or higher. Pings are normally 1-4ms.
I’ve tried moving the pigtail to the other connector, change antenna-mode between ant-a/b, moving the RB14 between two PCI slots, used another RB14, and switched between two wireless cards on the RB14 (Wistron Neweb CM9 [Atheros AR5213] and Senao NL-2511MP PLUS [Intersil Prism 2.5]).
One thing to note, is when using the CM9 card, the two LEDs for that slot flash every 2 seconds. I don’t think it did this with the senao card.
(Perhaps I should get this moved to the Wireless Networking forum?)
