Response to: wet 11 useless

I had the same problem with an IBM Think Pad. The Think Pad simply would not see the WET11, and the lan LED would not light on the WET 11 when connected to the Think Pad. If I hooked the WET 11 to a switch and then connected the Think Pad to the same switch, "bingo" the two would see each other and work fine, but hooked directly together... nothing. I had four WET 11's and they all displayed the same problem. Through a switch they would work fine. Connected directly with the laptop they wouldn't. I was beginning to think I had a voltage problem between the laptop and the WET 11 that the switch was compensating for, but I was wrong. I finally solved the problem by uninstalling my ethernet card and reinstalling it. After that everything worked without having to use a switch as an intermediary. Go figure!
