It's possible that the updates to Haiku broke the Ethernet driver.
In that case, it would be helpful if I could download the suurce tree for Haiku
R1Alpha4 for reference and comparison, not to build.
Is this source tree still available?
I am working on building Haiku current version but have some other projects
like cross-compiling a Linux toolchain and setting up Seagate Business Storage,
and seeing if I can set up NFS and PXE boot.
One sticking point is undependable Internet access from FreeBSD on MSI Z77
MPOWER motherboard.
