I have discovered that the lockup occurred because I had not set up the NIC.
Using SAS, I used 192.168.x.x for IP and Gateway.
Then, I found that I could dial into my ISP, but couldn't see anybody because I
lost access to my DNS.
If I use /sbin/route del default, I delete the last line in the report generated
by
/bin/netstat -nr, and then my DNS works until I log out and back in again,
at which time that line is back.
My feeling is that the problem might be IRQ based and involving my
non-working integral sound.

How do I change the IRQ?
I haven't tried another card. It's a VERY expensive Intel card, and I don't have
another.

I used SAS. the system will be one of two on a home network, providing
internet access for both machines.
