The 3C900 also didn't work as eth0 -- i.e, with the same routing  
configuration (/etc/init.d/network) that works for the ne2k-pci NIC.

Still, I haven't executed the final "route add" for setting up its  
default gateway (since I'm not sure what to use: 192.168.4.0 in my  
private range or my ISP's gateway -- or some other address).

There are just the two machines on the LAN.  (The other is not up.)

Thanks!

sorry if the line lengths are long, but I didn't want the /proc/net
