I am running the gettingStarted samples with "+" radios from sparkfun, on Arduino Uno. I use pins 7 and 8 in ordr not to interfere with 10 and 4 which are used for the shield. With only the board everything looks ok. When on one board I stack over the ethernet shield communication has problems:
- sometimes in the status it detects the radios as non plus variants and the lpowe is _LOW
- the "receiving" gets into an endless loop and allways receives something even if transmitter is not in transmit mode

- it is not a problem of the radios, as I have two, I switched them and only hapens when I have the ethernet shield connected
- am not using the ethernet shield yet, it is only connected on the board, no initialisation, nothing
