So far I'm still getting the 5510 back up and stable. I believe there are some
timing
issues with the new kgicon (my monitor wigs out in 800x600), and programming
the
5520 with bogus speeds could cause the problem you are mentionning. I'll be
looking
into 5520 then, and then start on my 5530 port. It'd be great if you could
beta test things
when I fix them.
