Okay... but can anyone help me out to get my I-Card to do _anything_?
Like, for instance, connect to the network?  Here's my
AmiTCP:bin/startnet:

------8< cut here 8<------
.key IPADDRESS
.bra {
.ket }
.def IPADDRESS 131.111.131.175

; log in
echo
echo login: dah31
AmiTCP:bin/login -f dah31
AmiTCP:bin/umask 022
AmiTCP:AmiTCP
WaitForPort AMITCP
; Configure loop-back device
AmiTCP:bin/ifconfig lo0 localhost
; Configure I-Card     ; I changed this line
AmiTCP:bin/ifconfig icard0 inet {IPADDRESS} netmask 255.255.255.0
; and the one above this one
; Add IP address entry for this host 
rx "address AMITCP; 'ADD HOST {IPADDRESS} darling.chu.cam.ac.uk '"
; Add route to this host
AmiTCP:bin/route add {IPADDRESS} localhost
; Add route to the default gateway
AmiTCP:bin/route add default 131.111.131.62
setenv HOSTNAME `AmiTCP:bin/hostname`
Assign TCP: Exists > NIL:
IF Warn
  Mount TCP: from AmiTCP:devs/Inet-Mountlist
EndIf
; Start the internet `super server'
run AmiTCP:bin/inetd
------8< cut here 8<------

... and here's the relevant part of my db/interfaces:

------8< cut here 8<------
[...]
#
# ASDG EB920 Ethernet adapter
#
eb920 DEV=DEVS:Networks/eb920.device UNIT=0
#
# Interworks I-Card PCMCIA Ethernet adapter (10BaseT)
#
icard0 DEV=DEVS:Networks/icard.device UNIT=0
#
# Village Tronic Ariadne Ethernet adapter
#
ariadne DEV=DEVS:Networks/ariadne.device UNIT=0
#
------8< cut here 8<------

I'm using the 10BaseT port (cat 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch
cable) (unit 0 of the icard.device).

Can anyone help me out here, please?
