So, when I am testing, am I using our rtl8139 driver, or Be's?  I have 
an rtl8139 driver in boot/home/config/kernel/drivers/bin
I want to test against a "known good" driver, namely Be's, so I dont 
have to consider the driver to be at fault...

Update:  I removed the driver from /boot/home/config... and things still 
work ok.  I am using Be's driver.  That other driver may have been
there from when I was last testing out the stack (in June)
