The first motherboards had a broken ethernet chip.
Just ask your dealer for a replacement, it should be free of charge.
You can identify a broken chip with the serial number on the back side,
I guess there is a TIL entry at apple.com.
I did that in spring '98 and it took 5 weeks, works fine since that day.
