OK, then why is only the forcedeth and skge driver listed, if this is so
important? I removed everything from iftab, and the network comes up
fine. Also, even though forcedeth is listed as being permanetly assigned

permanently.
Removing a device will

the solution was to
Sorry, I'd forgotten about this. Someone was able to clue me in to the
fact that the MAC address of the old NIC was hard coded in a file,
