"Ummm...."

My guess is that the SRM isn't going to know squat about a non-Tulip
ethernet card... If the driver is "ep", then it's a 3Com Etherlink III
of some sort.

Ari - please run the following command:

	ifconfig -am

...you will see output similar to the following:

icky (thorpej) ~ 123% ifconfig -am

Also, please post the output of "dmesg" after a fresh boot.
