That machine is also using the tlp driver for a NIC, albeit in 10baseT
mode.  (The other tlp-based card won't configure because it's plugged
into the "wrong" hose.  I swapped it with the other Symbios SCSI card
in the system, because I needed the extra SCSI more than I needed the
extra NIC, though sometimes it would be useful to have that NIC
working, too.)

Cheers,

Paul.
