Hi all.  If you're trying to use David Butler's
multiple-ethernet kernels that I posted boddles
for a couple months ago, you might notice that you
can't access machines on the local network.  This
is because ipconfig isn't getting run by termrc/cpurc.

If you have a line similar to
	if(test -e /net/ether/clone) ip/ipconfig
in /rc/bin/^(cpurc termrc), you should change it to
	if(test -e /net/ether0/clone || test -e /net/ether/clone) ip/ipconfig
before attempting to use the new ethernet drivers.
