Hi there :-)

I'm glad that it works for you. That gives me the hope that I should 
keep playing with it :-)

You're using the de0 driver for it...were you getting the same error 
that I did when trying to use the tulip driver, or was there another 
reason that you compiled a kernel w/o the tulip support?
