I DO!!  I DO!!@!  On a much more modern machine, but still with ISA
slots, I see the same thing.  About five seconds after the ``Doing
initial netwerk setup: hostname'' appears on the screen, the Scroll
Lock key fails to toggle illumination of its LED and the machine is
deader than a deceased doornail.

However, once again, after going multi-user with the Cabal modem net
disconnected, I can connect it, and give the `dhclient' command and
now it works without wedging (which isn't always the case, as I recall)

I have at the moment but a single card type ep/3C509, so I can't say
yet if I just have a bum card; likewise, I have no Real Network into
which I can plug this ep card and see if I get similar wedges during
conditions of traffic.

I'll play with this card and dhclient a bit more to see if I can come
up with anything more useful and concrete.  And I'll also see how a
Different OS handles this card with the ISC dhclient.  more l8r d00dz
