But a useful one :) Since it sounds as if NO ONE has gotten this to
work in 2.4.1, I've concluded that there's no point in banging my head
against this problem by fiddling any further with the local
configuration.

To be honest, I've yet to run it long enough to encounter this. I
don't need MacOS much anyway, but when I do, I always need networking.
For now I live with rebooting to switch between the two OS's.

Well, that's pretty serious ... I haven't been following mol-general
very closely lately -- is it now recommended not to run mol at all
with a 2.4.1 kernel?
Anyway, thanks for the followup.
