===Why do I need to connect a cable directly?=== |
|||
The CFE bootloader does not initialise Ethernet with a MAC address, so the device thinks it has the MAC address <tt>00:00:00:00:00:00</tt>. |
|||
Packets with this source MAC address will be dropped by: |
|||
* Network switches |
|||
* Any 802.1D bridges on your computer |
|||
This will make it impossible to communicate with the modem. |
