Good to hear you got your network going! If you decide to to 
upgrade to 2.0.35 or 2.0.36 by recompiling your kernel, get
the driver from the page I mentioned in my previous email and
copy it over the existing linux/drivers/net/3c59x.c 

If I remember correctly, the driver in 2.0.3x is 0.99E which 
does not work correctly if you warm boot from Win9x. With the
old driver the card gets assigned FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF Ethernet 
address which is not valid. The new driver does not have this 
problem.

Thanks, I will!
