It may be because it's late but I can not for the life of me get eth0 
talking to
anything.  It works under gentoo's livecd and it worked before then in 
all the
other distros I ran.  I can even restart to the livecd and it works. In 
dmesg, I
get alot of net watchdog: eth0 transmit timeout but also mii-tool does 
negotiate
(successfully) with the switch.

Help!
