UPDATE: [lug] problems manually configuring IP...

[celttechie (Brian Jarrett)]

These are the last lines in dmesg:

eth0: 3c509 at 0x300 tag 1, 10baseT port, address  00 20 af d8 af c3, IRQ
10.
3c509.c:1.16 (2.2) 2/3/98 becker at cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov.
eth0: Setting Rx mode to 1 addresses.

So it is using the right port...  I wonder if "Setting Rx mode to 1
addresses" means anything.
