It is rather embarrassing though. Tom V.'s message got bells ringing.  I
though I was having resource conflicts within the Linux install
(resource conflicts among modules).  This must have been the first time
the NIC card was enabled.  I was having IRQ conflicts.  It wasn't until
Tom's post that I actually looked at the address/IRQ of the embedded NIC
card.  I had just enabled it without looking at the actual resource
requirements.  Within the Compaq config utility, you toggle
enable/disable.  Once enabled, you can select it to dive down into the
actual resource settings.  I did not do that at first.  It was one of
those <Doh!> things that you spend two days fighting when if you
actually thought about it, actually only ten minutes to fix.
