Sometimes, about %50 of the time, when starting up my netbsd2.0 machine
with a 3C509 Etherlink III network card, after the ""starting network"
message I get the following errors :

ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCGIFFLAGS): no such interface
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCGIFFLAGS): no such interface
writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable
add net 224.0.0.0: gateway [my machine name] is unreachable
add net default: gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: Network is unreachable

this is the device ep0: ... What can I do to guarentee that it will always
be setup every boot ?
