[Soekris] net5501 error light stays on

[Bryan Irvine]

After setting my console to 38400 (and finding out that it might not support
that) when I boot the 5501 the errors light stays on.  I've connected to it
using a 28.8 speed but only get a single odd character that looks like a ?
in a box.

I've tried setting the speed back as documented but suspect it may be
suffering from issue 0005.

However when I short the pins it does not continue the bootup.and the error
light stays on.

It did come with another 5501 that suffers from the same issue but that one
does boot after shorting the pins, so it's likely to have come from the same
batch.

Is there anything else I can try?  Or do I just need to ship them back for
repairs?
