Does anyone have any more information on the possible issues with the Ethernet 2.0 shield? I purchased one yesterday and could not even get link on it to my Ethernet switch. I figured it was just a defective module so I exchanged it. So it turns out it was bad as the replacement shield works, sort of... The new one I got gets link, will run the webserver examples, but will randomly just stop responding. A push of the reset button usually takes care of it, but I find a shield that I have to keep pushing the reset button on not that useful. Did I get another bad module? I'm willing to exchange it once more before I just get a refund and go with another product. I see the info above about R3 not being connected to ground, etc... The shields I purchased both say v2.2 and appear to have been mfg. in February of 2014 according to the printing on the back of the shield. Would a shield of that version and mfg. date still suffer from that bug? If so is the random 'going offline' of the shield the behaviour the bug produces? Lastly if this is the bug causing my shield to randomly stop responding to network requests can someone give a little more detail or a pic of which side of R3 should be connected to ground and the best way to make that happen?
Thank you for your help.
