Which modules did you install? I installed ariadne2, no messages, no
problems, network is working. Installed from the network, no problems (it
only takes quite some time to download, verify, unpack, configure packages)
This is with 3.0.19 which I will be uploading in a minute.

If the A2k is the router, it should have direct acces to the net (with one of
the NICs?) so why don't you unplug "the other" card for installing? Probably
you can pass an option when loading a module, there must be a way to load
module for two identical NICs. I could not get two Realtek NIcs to work
simultaneously in my router, so I used a different card. Not on option for
your box I guess...

Both cards or just one card? I don't think the official kernels should
include the driver built in, if all modules wanted to be built in, we'd have
a huge kernel... there must be a solution with passing options to the
module.

Which X, the X in woody? Well, its not broken, only the support for m68k is
not quite finished yet...
