Today I assembled the machine and made the boot floppy for 2.2.2.. when the machine powered up, the link light came on, however as soon as the boot up went by and de0: device was detected, the link light went out and the ethernet card ceased to operate. I substituted a cheap NE2000 card to install the OS, and then tried compiling my own custom kernel, replaced the card and the same thing happened. There is no mention of this in the handbook or faq as far as I can see.. Can you assist, please?
