I realise that.  In fact, using the zp0 driver, you have to ifconfig
the interface down and back up before the link stuff seems to work
properly.  I'm using the 10Base2 connector, so I'm using link1.

In any case, with the nep0 driver, I can config the card to the point
where the activity light starts flashing, so I reckon it's seeing the
network.  I just can't send or receive.
