My guess is the NE2000 driver doesn't work. I know there are a few NICs that won't work from the kernel config menu during install ... I've never had reason to delve more deeply into that issue because there are certain NICs that work EVERY time so I take the easy way out & stick to the ones I know. > > Any idea where to get the RTL8002 based pocket ethernet adapter?

I would have sworn the RealTek parallel ones don't normally get to OZ ... maybe the one Brian has was brought in by someone from overseas (he is some sort of university type guru & there are all sorts of people around those places). The odds are the RealTek company in Taiwan (or wherever they are) ignore emails like most all asian manufacturers of computer garbology , so the only chance of getting info would be to poke around a heap of laptop distributors.
