- Me too. Actually it was an SMC 8003EP. The real kicker is that I could
- ping to and from the bad system if I changed the broadcast to the IP
- address of the remote. I still don't understand this (echo
- maybe?), but putting printf's in the we driver revealed that there were no
- receive interrupts when it was allegedly receiving. To the source!
