NIC question...

	Hi folks,

	On my HP computer, Redhat has this listed as its NIC:

	Ethernet controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 \
	[PCnet 5778-LANCE] (rev 25)

	In the KERNEL configuation files I grep'd the following 
	re the AMD NIC:

	device          pcn             # AMD Am79C79x PCI 10/100 NICs

	In the new DNS server I'm building, is the following ifconfig
	line correct for the first AMD NIC:

	ifconfig_pcn0="inet 216.231.43.140  netmask 255.255.255.0"

	(To get my net link working is most important, but there are
	webserver and mailserver issues too.  It'd be great to just
	switch cables and have everything Just-Work {TM}, but that
	seems unlikely!!!)

	thanks for any insights,

	gary
