It's a hardware problem! Just tried rebooting again and it was OK this
time. That's about 10 fails before one success. Seems odd though that
without moving anything, if I switch off at the wall socket and then
switch on again, the LAN kicks back in. Intermittent problems are the
worst.
Looks like I'll have to start saving my pennies.
