 on my T20, so i compiled the 2.4.1 kernel and now it detects it.  but the problem is i
 still can't get on the net because i didn't configure networking during install... so what
 program can i run to configure networking?  and how do i configure the network when the
 network gives my dynamic ips?
	
	Add to /etc/network/interfaces: iface eth0 inet dhcp
                                               hostname ???
	Assuming the 3com module is loaded> ifup eth0 should bring up the 
iface. Check it with> ifconfig eth0.
