Oh? It seems to work fine for me on my IPX. > One problem: dhcp seems to have broken. Both pump and dhcpcd fail, > although you can configure a static interface fine and it seems to work.

If you're using the slink dhcp clients, they won't work with anything newer than 2.0.x - the kernel programming interfaces changed. If you're afraid to use potato for some reason, you'll have to compile a dhcp client by hand; I like the DHCP stuff from http://www.isc.org. > We are, however, delighted simply to have the machine running :) I have to > admit, I wanted to bet Ian a quarter at 2 to 1 odds that 2.3 wouldn't come > up right (esp. since it didn't work on my IPX) ... but it _is_ snowing in > April here in Pittsburgh (you all remember the Calvin and Hobbes, "`Where > do you think we go after we die' `I dunno.
