simple networking question

[Norberto Quintanar]

I'm not familiar with the 9600, is the et0 card onboard or PCI?  If
PCI switch the cards, if onboard disable the drivers for eth0 in
MacOS- whatever your running to boot BootX and that should do the
trick.  It's been my experience that Linux in general -x86 or PPC
flavah wants to configure the first PCI anything it sees and if it's
not configured, anything down the chain can not get configured.
HTH YMMV Good luck!
