[expert] Thanks for "no network because of ARP"

[Marco Fioretti]

Just wanted to thank all people who gave me a lot of
useful suggestions to make my network card work.

As it turned out, I had a network card that:

a) requires setting under DOS, and my PC is 100% linux
        (yes, i know about dosemu and stuff...)

b) that particular card is probably also buggy itself,
i.e. its RJ-45 connector..

Conclusion: I traded him back, paying just the difference,
with a 3com 3c900, which worked immediately.

        Thanks,
                Marco
