Re: 4224 works on V4R4 and malfunctions on V5R1

Twinax has been improved in speed with newer controllers, they now do
2 Mbit instead of 1 MBit as before. That data area mentioned in other posts
controls stepping down of the speed back to the old level.
I seem to remember that the old controllers were also only capable of polling
one port after the other, leaving only one port active at a time.
The newer ones are able to poll several (two ?) ports simultanously,
this causes troubles if your are using twinax-to-RJ45 multiplexers, for 
instance.
It's strange that this should happen, when both controllers in your machines
seem to be of same type.
