Ok, I tried ep0, with no flags, and link0 link1 -link2. When I boot I get
pci0 bus0 device6 unknown vendor/product 0x1067/0x5900 (class network,
subclass ethernet, revission 0x00)
When I enter the ed0 bit, it give me:
ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: Device not configured
ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: Device not configured
writing to routing socket: File exists
writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable
Then somewhere in there it says
Testing network interfaces failed...
Does that help any? The configuration program doesn't seem to have any
option about the emulation mode.
Thanks
Eric
