I see you've solved your problem, but for future reference... |

Evidently, Tyan has at least two "k8w" boards. I don't remember the model |
| 11 |
number for the one you have, but mine is the s2885, dual Opteron, but |
| 12 |
using the tg3 network driver, not the e1000 you say yours uses. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
So, to avoid confusion in the future, consider identifying your board by |
| 15 |
make (Tyan) and model number (sXXXX or whatever), rather than model name. |
| 16 |
Model name can be added if desired, but without the model number, it's |
| 17 |
ambiguous. |
