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.
