Thanks for suggestion.  I'm telnetting in from work so should be able to
reboot as needed.

Output of dmesg:
ne.c:v1.10 9/23/94 Donald Becker (becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov)

 WARNING: The PCI BIOS assigned this PCI NE2k card to IRQ 255, which is
unlikely
 to work!.
 You should use the PCI BIOS setup to assign a valid IRQ line.
