I'm trying to install 386BSD, and can't get my ethernet card
to work (SMP WD8013 Elite Plus card).  I've gotten the cgd 
dist.fs-noIS that is supposed to fix some problems, and 
indeed, it did fix the card-not-found-on-warm-boot problem, but 
I still cannot get the network card to talk to the outside world 
(nor can I ping the machine from elsewhere)

During boot, it tells me that it finds we0 properly, and
once its booted, I run:

	# ifconfig we0 136.177.80.80
	# route add default 136.177.80.1

(My machine is 80.80, our gateway is 80.1)

I know the card is good, because it can talk to other cards during
diagnostics, and the RX light blinks rapidly all the time.  But still, 
it appears dead to 386BSD.

Any help appreciated,
