It doesn't know anything about routing, + which means, you can only use it from hosts in the same subnet. + If IP packets get lost, the controller will ignore retransmission requests and + the connection will not recover. The driver tries to reset the connection in this case. + It is recommended to operate the controller in a separate network. - MAXnet cards with firmware versions older than 1.33.4 shouldn't be used with the ethernet port. They abort communication, if they detect a tcp packet with checksum 0xffff.
