I don't see anything really strange in the above output, but that
doesn't mean much, since I'm still a linux n00b; perhaps you'll see
something that I don't. It looks to me like "ip link set eth0 up" is being
run, which seems odd to say the least. I'm also not fully aware of which
settings I should be assigning for speed, duplex, and autoneg when I'm loading
the network driver module. Would that likely cause this problem, or is that a
separate issue?- Daniel--
