I accidentally made an IRQ conflict when I compiled my custom kernel. Removing the IRQ conflict made the above problem go away (sound familiar, anybody? ;-) (I knew I should've gone to bed earlier...) After changing the 'link' flags, I get a green light, and I can ping my other PC now!

At least we now know that you _don't_ need the PAO patches with 2.2.5 on the new Toshiba's... Good night! Gary
