The network card is an e1000, which has a somewhat weird "checksum" for the EEPROM. In newer kernels the driver knows how to handle that. For older kernels you need to set the MAC by hand, but otherwise everything is fine.
I finished building the Debian experimental linux 3.8.5 package set from source last night. It includes most of the latest fixes for improved SMP stability. Plan to test the 64-bit SMP kernel this evening and will upload the set to the parisc archive if it successfully boots. Dave -- John David Anglin dave.anglin@bell.net
