Thanks Marcin, good news on the Intel Chipset then. Just thinking aloud here. Now to decide to include the EtherRegen to the existing NET FEMTO, or the XE and no EtherRegen. The XE would use the existing LPSU and two less connections with the EtherRegen. Also having a lot of difficulty with sourcing the EtherRegen power supply, it cannot use the same 5V as the XE/NET Femto which would keep that loop tidy. Introducing another power supply is a problem and cost I don't need. Common Mode noise from the switch/router is taken care of by a Baaske filter/transformer and -

Hi Marcin, Thanks, that seems to be the issue indeed. Running an older GP version from an USB stick made both cards work. I'll investigate further how to get it working with GP. Probably need to update that first, backing up the Roon database etc. Appreciate your quick and helpful support! Regards, Rob -

Hmm, and each card works fine on its own, but not if both are installed, correct? -

I did, trying different slots or interchanging the cards using the same slots. No difference. lscpi also doesn't show the usb controller on the USB card when the NET card is present. Regards, Rob -

Hi Marcin, Both are powered by a SR4. The USB card is powered by a SR4T, the Net card by a SR4. The mobo is one you're familiar with - Supermicro X11SCL-F Regards, Rob -

Hi Marcin. Thanks for shipping the NET card XE, it arrived this morning. I installed it and it works all right. However, it is sitting in the next PCI slot to an Jcat USB XE card. The USB connection is not seen any more in the system with the NET card installed. Upon removing the NET card the USB card is seen again. The system runs on Gentooplayer. Do I have to do something to let both be seen to the operating system, or did I do something wrong? Regards, Rob -

@Marcin_gps, does the XE have the Intel i350 NIC like previous NET Femto card? I like this chip, has a great throughput and is very configurable. -
