Note: Harry Kitt's message & his problem
"driver appeared to work, but would randomly drop the connection.
Probably not recompiled for the Bering's kernel/compiler."
---was because he used drivers from his Dachstein disk.

I've tried editing shorewall to use each of them as the external 
interface to make sure it wasn't a card specific problem.
Firewall's internal eth always works, I can always ping the numerical 
address of the firewall from internal machines. And I can always reach 
weblet.
---They all passed the diagnostics from RealTek   rtl8019.exe   when 
booted from a DOS floppy.
---They are all set to jumpered mode (not PNP) and physically set the 
jumpers.

quoting guitarLynn  "What exact model/make card are you using.... a lot 
of "compatible"
cards aren't even compatible at all. "
--Each of them has the Novell YES logo silk-screened onto the NIC's 
board.

"you will also need
to load the "mii" module as well."
---These are ISA rtl8019 cards. I've never heard of needing mii.o
---Is it something new?

As to what make & Model,
--- one of them is a Farallon 8019,
the other two weren't proud enough to put their names on the board.
I assume they were relying on the NovellYES logo.

I'll pull the machine apart & get more identifiers from the cards later 
tonight.
