Okay, I'll try and see. It's odd because these NIC cards are several 
years old and work with 2.4.x Linux builds.

Will do. Should I send the output to this list?

Another question. I tried 0.44 on a thin client with an onboard Realtek 
8139 NIC. On this PC ifconfig does show eth0. However, there's no IP.
I ran udhcpc and it said:
/usr/share/udhcpc/default.script failed : no such file or directory. 
Then it probed with "sending discover...", but could not see the 
network.

So I'm still stuck without an IP address. Is this the same problem? It 
seems related but slightly different because at least eth0 is up so 
that means the NIC driver must be working, right?

Any suggestions, or is compiling trunk my only hope?

Many Thanks,

Marcus
