Do the standard ethernet shields work on the Due or is there a voltage issue to deal with.

The following are a couple of comments from posts on the page for the Ethernet shield at the arduino.cc site below. Provided the one who answered the question knows what he is talking about and by reading it seams he does, you should be fine but only if you have Rev3 or newer of the board...

AC3000 you say:
"yes it is compatible with the Due."The web says:
"This is on digital pins 11, 12, and 13 on the Duemilanove and pins 50, 51, and 52 on the Mega."About the DUE
"Unlike other Arduino boards, the Arduino Due board runs at 3.3V. The maximum voltage that the I/O pins can tolerate is 3.3V. Providing higher voltages, like 5V to an I/O pin could damage the board."Is just Duemilanove and Mega Right??? Not for DUE(3.3v) or yes?
I'm confused and I don't want to damage my DUE.
Please help me.

Hi Thetimeisclose,
the Ethernet Shield Rev 3, through the IOREF pin, is able to configure itself and work properly both 3.3V and 5V. Don't worry, you will not damage your Due.AC
