For the benifit of those looking for the solution to the KNE111TX arp
hardware address problem:

This problem is a known issue in 2.2.17.  There are two ways to solve
it:

1) Get Donald's drivers from
      ftp://www.scyld.com/pub/network/test/tulip.c
   which he will support on this list.

2) Use kernel 2.4 (2.4.5 certainly works).  Donald will not support
   that because he does not control the changes to it.

might help those looking for answers in the archive, like I was)
