Planet-zorp is having difficulty talking to the net.
The folks who cabled it back up attached it to the net via the AUI on
the installed 3c590, which is not the way it was configured before
(instead, it used the built-into-the-motherboard 10baseT-only 3c509,
but there seems to be a drive to use a lot of AUI..)
I believe i've managed to whack the '589 so it thinks it's using the
AUI port, but it's not working.. it seems to be having difficulty
transmitting packets out the AUI; it receives stuff fine, but it seems
to wedge up on transmit (sometimes getting stuck with OACTIVE set..)
I'm not sure if this is a driver bug (zorp is running 1.2; i have a
'590 running 1.3F w/o any problems).
I've spent a couple hours on this with not a lot to show for it, so
I"m giving up..
