Nope, did not work (tried "dhclient", "dhclient vr0" and "dhclient vn0"

and none gave me network). 

Someone suggested that the card was a troublesome one, perhaps I should
throw money at the problem and buy something else. The local store
sells 3Com 3C905C for a reasonable price, anyone know if that might be a
better choice?

way of obtaining information.  --David Friedman
