It seems I have 'bigger' problems.  That being how the distro is 
working with my ethernet adapter, or not.

My ethernet is on my Portege LAN port replicator.  Win2000 has no 
problem working with this device.

The distro seems to see it, but DHCP fails.  I manually config the IP 
address, and cannot PING the notebook from the DHCP server (on that 
subnet).  I get incomplete entries in the ARP table.  And nothing for 
that IP address in my HTTP server's access.log.

So I tried a tried and true 3COM PCMCIA lan card.  But it did not 
recognize it.  No LAN lights coming on, like at least on the LAN port 
replicator.

Where do I look now?
