	Latest discoveries are that with the Xircom Ethernet II
	well seated, upon reboot, the kernel panics when it sees
	the card.  It's a new card, so guessing it is a driver problem.
	Time to look for a new card.  

	Inthe KERNEL config files does anybody have any experience with:

         ex              # Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 and Pro/10+
         ep              # Etherlink III based cards
         fe              # Fujitsu MB8696x based cards
         ie              # EtherExpress 8/16, 3C507, StarLAN 10
         lnc             # NE2100, NE32-VL Lance Ethernet cards

	or am I looking in the wrong place?
