Well, that helped... It seems to work OK from a different client (altima), but bonneville remains non-cooperative. Not an apt problem, though. When it goes to download package lists or packages, it freezes. Sometimes it locks up solid, sometimes ^C will break out, in which case I get a stream of eepro100: cmd_wait for(0xffffff80) timedout with(0xffffff80)! messages which don't stop until I `ifconfig eth0 down`. So I'd guess that's a flaky NIC integrated on the mobo. Thanks for the gzip tip! -- That's not gibberish...
