Well, that helped... It seems to work OK from a different client (altima),
but bonneville remains non-cooperative. Not an apt problem, though. When it
goes to download package lists or packages, it freezes. Sometimes it locks
up solid, sometimes ^C will break out, in which case I get a stream of
eepro100: cmd_wait for(0xffffff80) timedout with(0xffffff80)!
messages which don't stop until I `ifconfig eth0 down`. So I'd guess that's
a flaky NIC integrated on the mobo.
Thanks for the gzip tip!
