Hi, The testers mailing list is for reporting bugs with Athena
releases that are still in testing. It is not intended for random
questions about configuring Athena Workstations.
That said, I don't really know the answer to your question. I have
personally seen the auto-sensing stuff work just fine on several
models in the sun ultra line. What type of machien are you having
problems with? Have you confirmed that another machien works on the
relevant network drop on the new switch?
