Hmm.. Thanks for that. But where? All the links I can find are still 31r3 or 
31r4 (Kernel 2.6.17 [and maybe others] seems to have a problem with the tg3 
driver).

I'm not sure which kernel ubuntu was using, but the drums & non-working 
interface did my head in.

I did get Knoppix working... Sort of... The DHCP client worked, but I was only 
receiving, and not sending... So I unloaded & re-loaded tg3, and set the  IP  
by hand, and hey presto. It worked... I have to see now if I can duplicate 
the feat.
