OK, someone said there are no dumb questions, so I'll do my best to 
come up with the first one.  

I'm trying to test all the updates on my system.  I've never used CVS 
before tonight, but I managed to get it setup and download everything 
in anonymous mode, so that's good.  I have a built-in Intel Ethernet 
card that never worked and a linksys PCI that I added that does work.  
When I go into Devices, neither card is listed by name, but I'm pretty 
sure the Linksys is DEC-based and therefore a tulip card (but you know 
what they say about assuming).  I have the device listed is "/dev/net/
tulip/0" in testread.  When I run testread, I get:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
$ testread
allocated a 4096 byte block starting at 0xa0000000
allocated a 4096 byte block starting at 0xa0001000
Network Card Read Test
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Have you set the device path to point at your card=3F
If not you probably won't see anything!

Couldn't open the device! General OS error    
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Obviously, that's not right, so I changed the dev line to point to "/
dev/net/ether/0", which is also available, thinking maybe my linsys 
isn't a tulip card, and I get the following:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
$ testread
allocated a 4096 byte block starting at 0xa0000000

Have you set the device path to point at your card=3F
If not you probably won't see anything!

Opened the device.

The 802.x message is repeated over and over really fast.  OK, that's 
not it either, so I must not be doing something wrong.  Is it just a 
matter of compiling the new stuff and then running teasread=3F  Or Am I 
supposed to be killing the current net=5Fserver and running the new one I 
compiled or anything like that=3F Any ideas=3F
