Connecting Radio to RoboRio
We are trying to connect our OM5P-AN radio that came in the Kit of Parts to the roboRio.

When we turn on the power with both the roboRio and the new radio connected, the new radio takes awhile to initialize and the Ethernet link and status lights do not light up.
However, if the roboRio is disconnected from power and reconnected without turning off the radio, the radio connects fine. This leads me to believe that the new radio is taking too long to initialize.

We also tested the same situation with the old dlink. The roboRio connected fine without any problems.

So, currently we are using the Dlink for the robot. However, this will not be viable for competition season. Anyone else have this problem/know how to fix it?
