Hooray, it worked!! Thank you very much! I'm getting solid 650 MB/s through
it, which may be limited by my hub; but that's a good bit more than the cable
modem will give me so it's all I need.
This cries out for a patch to at the very least Documentation/Configure.help,
and probably drivers/net/Config.in. Are there many other NE2000 clones? I'll
put together patches for 2.2 and 2.4
within the next week or so, unless someone gives a good reason not to.
Previously on this thread I asked why there are so few network card modules in
the Debian pmac .config. Now let me add: why does i386 have CONFIG_FILTER,
CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL, CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE,
etc., and we don't? If there is no particular reason, I'll file a (wishlist)
bug report against kernel-image-2.2.17-pmac, and hope the change gets into
2.2r1. (Not that 2.2.17 boots on my
StarMax 3000 with quik, but it might be helpful for some others.)
Thanks much once again!
