	Hm. I'm running GENERIC again,  after running with the OLDCARD
	configuration failed.  The system does recognize my Xircom,
	but as "dc0"  But when I boot with ifconfig_dc0="DHCP" I 
	run into 'watchdog timeout' errs (prob'ly from dhclient).

	My card is a Xircom Ethernet II 10/100 CBE2-100.  If your
	card is identical, I'll go back to the OLDCARD conf and
	try again.

	thanks much,

	gary
