[lug] linux network

[Nate Duehr]

I have a machine that acts like this.  It's a problem with the BIOS not
resetting my SMC Ultra card properly on warm-boot.  Then the SMC module
doesn't load into the kernel at boot time.

Do a 'dmesg' (probably pipe it to less/more) and see if your card's
kernel module is coming up appropriately and that eth0 is actually there
when it's acting up with an 'ifconfig'.

If I cold-boot that machine instead of rebooting, it works 99% of the
time.
