I believe it's frozen, but that's just a guess. I can't ping it
because my ipro1000 isn't supported by the (nearly) 3 year old
ipro1000 driver in the respitory.
I have an NE2000-based PCMCIA Card that does work, though it wont
start up until i go into the boneyard, and click Apply. I believe i
need to add a config line somewhere, though i havn't found which line
:).
