Hi, it booted up on a Core2Duo box but failed to connect via e100 NIC
to localnet.

/var/log/messages:

So where did the firmware go? -- I been using these e100 NICs for years,
2.4 & 2.6 kernels, never seen this kind of failure...

Duped mesg with typo corrected so searching Subject line works.

Thanks,
Grant.
