In my kernel config, I have: |

|
| 8 |
# |
| 9 |
# Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) |
| 10 |
# |
| 11 |
CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y |
| 12 |
CONFIG_MACE=y |
| 13 |
# CONFIG_MACE_AAUI_PORT is not set |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I saw no reason to bother with the Apple interface, although my 8600 has |
| 16 |
one as well. |

Is this during the installation, or afterward? I believe the most-used |
| 24 |
networking options are built into the LiveCD kernel, so modprobe would |
| 25 |
not accomplish anything if the ones you need are built in. |

You say it's plugged into a hub -- is this Mac going to need to go |
| 28 |
through DHCP, or NAT, or something in order to get an IP? You may be out |
| 29 |
of the realm of PPC-specific stuff in that case. :) |

As a useless side note, I never figured out how to get local video |
| 32 |
working on my beige beast, so all of my access is by SSH from another |
| 33 |
room. :-p |
