I'm trying to run an old UMAX C600 with YDL 3.0 in a headless (sans
keyboard, mouse, and monitor) config.  I can't boot the machine without the
keyboard and mouse attached, because the kernel will improperly load the
Realtek driver for my ethernet card.  Somehow the mac address gets screwed
up because the driver is loaded into the memory incorrectly.  Another users,
was able to "fix" the problem by hardcoding a memory address, but I am not
skilled enough to do this.  Has anyone been able to correct this with an
updated kernel?  I can install that!
