Have you recentlyupgraded your kernel from a 1.3ALPHA kernel? If you have the
device name has changed from eh0 to ne0. This can be fixed by renaming
/etc/ifconfig.eh0 to /etc/ifconfig.ne0. The other thing to note is that you
must ifconfig the card under RISC OS for either of the drivers to work. You
can also remove ehbug from the bootloader options as the new driver does not
require it.
