  13. The stock ifconfig program assumes you will be using the BNC
  14. connector, not the 15 pin AUI connector.  You have to rebuild and
  15. install ifconfig with patch #35 installed.  Then add "aui" to your
  16. ifconfig line in /etc/netstart; e.g.
  17. ifconfig ec0 1.2.3.4 aui up
  18. or something like that.

  20. This seems to be a very common (and might I say frustrating) problem.
  21. It might be a good thing for the FAQ.  (Thanks to vikki@athena.mit.edu
  22. for pointing out the problem.)
