I'm fairly confident, as I've used it with another machine within the last 
couple of weeks.

It has worked in the past, but sometimes with wierdness.  Knoppix doesn't want 
to automatically configure the card, but the same ifconfig+route setup didn't 
work in there either.  I should try it again, but try using dhclient/dhcpd 
instead.

I did.  Should have been more specific about that, sorry.

I did try it with a full 'ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.97 netmask 255.255.255.0 
broadcast 192.168.1.255' as well, with no difference in the results.  Those 
values seem to be assumed by ifconfig anyway.

I think I tried that to no avail, but I'll double-check.

Thanks for the suggestions,
Adam
