| Yesterday I received my ENC28J60 modules after 5 weeks of waiting.
I ordered the 3.3V with a 10-pin headermodules as shown in the expansion port Wiki.
The modules I got are 5V, have a 12-pin header and the SI & INT signal seems missing. See picture:

I've contacted the eBay seller yesterday. But even if he send them today, I have to wait another 5 weeks. :)
Then I posted this in the Vampire Facebook group.
One member Leigh 'Perc' Rus gave me some links to Arduino & RPI forums where they discussed this problem.
I have read the info on that forums.
It seems that:
LNT = INT
ST = SI
Q3 = 3.3V
The board also has a SCK and CLK pin
As I remembered from the SDNET readme one should use the SCK pin!
I've connected now my ENC module to these pins like the expansion port Wiki says.
I triple checked every connection on the ENC28J60 module and on the A500 V2+ expansion header.
Layout as from the Wiki:
Expansion Connector. ENCJ2860 Module
8 (MISO) So
1 (MOSI). Si
3 (nCS1). CS
6 (CLK). SCK
5 (IRQ) INT
7 (GND). GND
2 (+3.3V). VCC

And what happened?
It worked without as it should :)
I guess that the factory misspelled the characters. Just look good at ST & SI, Q3 & 3.3V and LNT & INT. For users not familiar with the Latin alphabet an error can easily be made. The mingled characters and numbers resemble one an other a bit :)
The Apollo Team should add this variation of the ENC module info to their Wiki. :)
