No Ethernet on YDL 4.0

[Lewis Coleman]

Part 1.
My wireless card (orinoco_cs hermes) doesn't work!  (also my tulip 
ethernet).  It used to.  Maybe what I did in Part 2 was the problem?
The computer says "No eth1"  or something like that.  (Also "no eth0")
Let me explain how I work--sort of like the monkeys that wrote 
Shakespeare:  Even though I don't know what I am doing, I try 
EVERYTHING!  (it works usually!) So I tried depmod, modprobe, ifconfig, 
iwconfig, netstat (I don't know what good that did!) and more.
Also when I run system-config-network and save the results--the next 
time I run it, it has changed!  (Some other system-config programs 
might not work correctly, either.)

Part 2.  (May not be related to Part 1)
Just for fun--what have I done:
I have an Old World Mac (Powerbook 3400) running YDL 4.0.  I use BootX, 
of course.  OK.  So I put in the YDL 4.0 Install #1 disk and run BootX 
from OS 9.1.  I use the YDL 3.0 boot up kernel and ram disk, but I put 
init=5 (or 3 or S) in the additional kernel parameters.  The CD Drive 
makes noises like it is booting up.  Then I do the Control-Option 2 
thing and get a command line prompt!  I can see the cdrom and ??.  I 
type /sbin/continue.  I "Control-Option 7" back and get what looks like 
the system-config-network-tui program! (Not that is does anything!! ) I 
believe the Control-Option 1 window displays something also.  I throw 
my laptop violently to the ground to turn it off (Not really, but you 
get the picture!)

Now don't spoil my fun by asking "Why?!!"  Just tell me what was 
happening!  (And "don't try this at home!")

And where can I find a list of the "additional kernel parameters" 
parameters?
