Thanks for the recommendation.

I dug through the FAQS and found that NE2100 cards should use the lnc0
or lnc1 decive (for Lance/PCNet) cards. That's all cool. I thought
that I'd gotten everything to work.
Alas, that's not the case. I get the following error:
lnc0: Heartbeat error - SQE test failed.
What's it mean, and more importantly, what can I do to fix it?
Thanks in advance...
