I'm working from the -current boot floppies. dmesg isn't there, nor is
there anything in /var/run ...
I'm afraid I don't know what's in the config file for the boot floppy. I
was assuming that it was GENERIC, which has sk/skc in it.
The DGE-350T and Linksys EG1032 are the only gig ether interfaces on the
shelf at my local store; they both seem to have the same chipset. Is
there some other one I should try ordering, that is known to work in the
amd64 port?
Thanks.
