D2Pro has received reports of their 2.1 Firmware Update causing issues with some D2Pro chips.
They are recommending not upgrading until a future firmware is released due to the fact that the d2c2 compatible D2Pros cannot be backleveled.

Issues with new v2.1 firmware on d2c chipsets - 2008.07.18
We have received reports that there are some issues with the new v2.1 firmware for people using d2pro with D2C chipsets. We are investigating this and will release a fix soon. In the meantime, please note that d2pros with the green “d2c-2 compliant” sticker on them cannot be downgraded to v1.0 or v1.1b firmware. Therefore, do not use the v2.1 update if you have a standard D2C chipset and a d2c-2 compliant d2pro. If you have already updated, don’t worry! The upcoming fix will work for you!

NS Member nvdolfan has informed us that D2Pro has announced that they have released a new firmware to fix the Eject Issue.

Firmware Update Released - Eject Issue Fixed! - 2008.07.15
People who have been experiencing eject issues with their d2pro chips will be pleased to hear that this bug has now been fixed! The official 2.0 update (d2prog required) has been released and is available for download in the resources section along with new config discs. This updates works on all d2pro versions up to with the SPI Flash (upto d2c-2) and will even add d2c-2 compatibility to earlier versions of d2pro!

Mistake with new firmware version number - 2008.07.16
The more observant of you may have noticed that the version number of the new firmware has been increased from 2.0 to 2.1. This was mearly a mistake in the original naming of the file. It was supposed to be 2.1 — no changes have been made to the firmware itself, so there is no reason to re-download or re-flash your chip if you already downloaded ‘2.0′ yesterday. Sorry for the confusion!

Downloads:
v2.1 Firmware
Linux i386 - gzip tarball - 537KiB
Mac OS X - gzip tarball - 539KiB
Windows XP - gzip tarball - 538KiB (driver also required — do not let Windows automatically search for a driver for d2prog!)

Thanks again to nvdolfan!!!
