Hello all.

I'm having some trouble getting ethernet working on my IIcx. I even went
so far as to buy a second ethernet card in the hopes that it would work
better, but no such luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

An abbreviated log (retyped manually):

(now for the other card, after rebooting)

# ifconfig ae1 192.168.0.6
# ping 192.168.0.7
