Second Ethernet

[Axel IS Main]

It would appear the irq situation is not the problem. Why would I worry 
about the mac being bound to a specific ethX? Ever hear of kudzu? It 
works, you know. In any event, I believe I've traced the problem to 
upgrades being done on the adephia cable network. I still have one of 
the "old" modems so I can't change anything. It would seem that even 
though the modem can be made to see the new mac, the system won't assign 
an ip to a mac that it hasn't seen through that modem. Once I get the 
new modem it should work. Until then I guess I'm just screwed.
