Hi there. I am trying to get NetBSD running on a Dell Latitude CP notebook,
and among the difficulities I have run across is that the 3com pcmcia card
which I acquired to hook the system on the network is not receiving packets.
Attempts at sniffing the wire show that it is sending out arp packets, which
are being replied to, but the system seems clueless. I was wondering if anyone 
had any ideas? Thanks in advance.

p.s. /kern/msgbuf from install floppy run...
