The `ne' driver in 0.9 is known to be somewhat buggy. It's been
completely replaced with the new `ed' driver.
[...], should my Ethernet interface show up as 2 lines when I do a
'netstat -in'?
Yes, since there are in fact two entries in the kernel's address table.
The first one, as it says, is the `link' address, which would normally
contains the link-level (ethernet) address. The `ed' driver fills in
that information; the `ne' driver didn't.
