Photo images/20261030_155855.JPG shows CSR0/CSR1=0x07B3, TMD1=0x8300,
RMD1=0x0300, MCNT=0x001C, OK=YES (loopback reproduced with the text build) and
REST=0x0073 = INIT|STRT|TXON|RXON|INEA, i.e. the chip is running again after
the payload's 0x7F41 -> 0x0042 hand-back.
The OS however shows 'Ethernet Port Error - 24' and stays off the network, so
the recovery failure is in the firmware's driver state, not in the LANCE. A
takeover run therefore still costs a power cycle.
