I've had reports that the ethernet PHY of the TiBook was not recognized by the current kernel. I suggest you try my "devel" kernel (rsync from penguinppc.org::linux- 2.4-benh). I added some "generic" code for unknown PHYs that may help. With some luck, sleep should also work with this kernel (it works fine on my Pismo now). Ben
