Are you saying that ethernet is just plain broken on the IIvx?  If so,
then I should just give up now.

I did check the MacBSD User Survey at
     http://puma.bevd.blacksburg.va.us/~spearce/
and of the five IIvx owners there (not including myself), none were
listed as using ethernet.

btw, is anyone out there using a Cabletron ethernet card?  It's based on
the DP8390CN chip, but I'm having trouble getting it to work (and  it's
not one of the available choices presented by the MacBSD USer Survey).
