 I went back through my notes at work where i was trying various OSes out
on the Dell OptiPlex 745, and indeed, i made an error.  I incorrectly
recollected that NetBSD 4.0 was able to use the onboard Ethernet
interface, but it was actually FreeBSD 7.0-current that worked with the
interface. (The older version of FreeBSD did not.  And apparently none of
the NetBSD insall ISOs configured the onboard Ethernet interface.

 Sorry for the confusion -- i had tried about 7 different OSes over 3
days, and my recollections got a little muddled.
