Thank you Alex. This has gotten me further along. I needed to change
/etc/conf.modules from "usb-ohci" to "usb-uhci". Now that makes it install
correctly, but the ethernet device is not initialized (nothing else changed
from when it worked in the other machine).
When using the pegasus driver, I get "pegasus.c: party FAIL ffff". I did a
search for this error message and the answer mentioned a kernel version
conflict, but it worked before with the same kernel.
You did great last time. Any more advice?
