I can't seem to get eth0 to initialize properly.  I had a RH42 setup that
was flaky at best; this was the set of commands I used to initialize eth0:

============================================================

/usr/local/isapnptools-1.11/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.0.32/net/3c515.o
ifconfig eth0 10.1.0.26 netmask 255.255.0.0
route add -net 10.1.0.0
route add default gw 10.1.0.1

============================================================

It seems I don't need the first line because it's already being run.
When I run the rest of it line by line, it seems fine.  The computer would
say it found the card with the right hardware address when I ran the 2nd
line.  The rest should just be networking initialization.

I still get nothing.

FYI I got the card driver from some guy's site at CESDIS/NASA Greenbelt.
It was flaky but it worked under RH42, now it just doesn't work.

Any helpful advice will be greatly appreciated.

(Unfortunately I work with MicroBorg WinNT and I'm trying to prove to my
office workers that Unix is a superior system.)
