=09I'm not sure about LC ethernet, but I am running a Q630 with CS
ethernet just fine. Although, it took some doing... more to follow.

=09Well, even if your ifconfig settings and all other settings are
fine, there IS the Q630's video interrupts which need clearing. Just
recently Michael Zucca, with a bit of data from me, was able to do so. If
you would like to try a kernel with the patch for Q630 video, you can get
one from http://www.teleport.com/~rimsky/kernels.shtml. And yes, that's
=2Eshtml, not .html.

=09This should work for you...=20

=09Incidentally, people who downloaded the kernel before tonight... I
think I may have included the wrong patch (Michael sent me a few, and only
the last one worked), but I have replaced it with Q630 #1, which DOES
work, and I tested it before I uploaded it to make sure. Sorry for any
troubles you may have had. I did get 1 report from someone saying that it
didn't work on an LC630, so I repatched and compiled and uploaded the new
kernel... so please send me an email if you are using the kernel, and
tell me whether or not it is working properly, thanks!
