I'm in the boot floppy world, so I don't have a lot of choice.

I swapped in a ex board, and it's not working, either. I'm guessing that 
the 2.0.2 and 2.1-RC3 are having issues with the PCI bridge chip on my 
motherboard. The 3.0 kernel from the boot floppy seems to talk to both 
of them OK (DHCP, ping). Now I just need some install sets!

Thanks.
