Powerbook lombard ethernet Problem

[Michael Koppelman]

If you are talking to me the answer is no. My YDL excursion has been a 
complete failure. I don't know if I posted to the wrong list or if no 
one has any ideas. I have one friend who runs YDL and another who is an 
expert at Linux and they both were not able to help me either.

I pasted my message again below in case anyone missed it.

Cheers,
Michael Koppelman
