    OK, Im trying to run 2.6.0-test6 on top of RH9.
    I have progress in some areas but not others.

    NETWORKING. is a nogo.

    If I compile the driver 3c59x as a module, it gets loaded, but
    with the driver in the kernel or as a module, I get the messages
    in the messages file (during boot) or when I do a ./network start
    from /etc/rc.d/init.d

Thats the right address for the ethernet card, and NOTHING else is
using it... So what do I need to do?
Ill assume that some config file or script needs to be modified, 
but what/where. 
At the same time I see:
---
[root@orion init.d]# /sbin/ifconfig -a
