The AV Macs use MACE Ethernet which does not work in the kernel supplied
with Debian Potato.
Andrew McPherson posted the following links to the
linux-mac68k@mac.linux-m68k.org mailing list a few days back. These are
supposed to contain beta drivers for MACE Ethernet.
ftp://macduff.dhs.org/pub/cvs/vmlinux-2.2.16-102600.gz
ftp://macduff.dhs.org/pub/cvs/vmlinux-2.4.0test9-102600.gz
ftp://macduff.dhs.org/pub/cvs/modules-2.2.16-102600.tar.gz
ftp://macduff.dhs.org/pub/cvs/modules-2.4.0t9-102600.tar.gz
Note: I don't have a system with MACE Ethernet, but others have posted
with some success using the 2.2.16 kernel. 2.4.X still has other issues
is probably only for the brave and experienced.
