[c-nsp] PA-2FE-TX using both ports kills module

[Nikolai Schupbach]

Hello,

We have a PA-2FE-TX in a 7206VXR /w NPE400. We have not be successful in
getting
both ports working in this module. If we run this module using a single port
everything is stable and fine. However as soon as we enabled the second port
and start passing traffic through this port, both ports will stop responding.
The only way to get the card to respond again is to remove and re-insert it.
(it does not crash the router)

We thought this was due to a faulty PA-2FE-TX module, so we purchased another
one  but we experience *exactly* the same problem. So we did some further tests
and tried to place these modules in a standard 7200 non-VXR /w NPE200 router,
and again we experience the same problem, with the exception of the 7200
non-VXR router crashing this time.

We are running 12.3(15a), but we have tried with other IOS versions with no
luck. Here is the port diags from 1 of the ports:

        Dual Port FastEthernet (RJ45) Port adapter, 2 ports

Both cards have the same part and revision numbers.

Has anyone heard of any problems with these cards? Two cards, purchased from
two
completely different companies, experience the same problem in two completely
separate routers. This has got me totally stumped.

Regards, Nikolai.
