 I *was* running sa-4871, but when I changed to sa-4740, it recognised the
eh0 device.

 Yes, apparently 4871 didn't have etherh support.

 Erm, can't remember.

 However, once or twice, 4740 seems to default to the 10bT interface, saying
stuff like "Heartbeat not found" and so on... however sometimes it gets the
right 10b2 interface and works fine...
