I had the same problem.
I fixed it by changing the max adress off the fox bord.

If you make a ssh connection to your fox bord (user = root; password =
pass) then you can change the mac addres with the following command.

$ vi /mnt/flash/etc/conf.d/mac

This will start vi (text editor). If you press the "insert" key you
will be able to change the mac adress.


There is an other way:

This is done by changing the system variable $DEFAULT_MAC.

$ vi /mnt/flash/etc/init.d/mac

Here you'll find the following line DEFAULT_MAC="00:40:8C:CD:00:00"
If you change this, the red will not blink at the next reboot.

My personal advice is to change the mac adress and not the system
variable $DEFAULT_MAC. Because if you change the $DEFAULT_MAC, the mac
address is still going to be the default mac adress and there will be
a conflict if you have more than 1 fox bord on your network.
