OK.
The @#$% machine (running Progeny Debian) finds eth0.
I can't get the lan configured so I wipe the drives. This time I do the
network installation while installing the Progeny Debian OS on the P1 system.
Giving it the name PostgresTest,
inet: 192.168.100.50
mask: 255.255.255.0
All goes well until the end when...
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable.
Frustrated, I reboot.
In the boot messages:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable.
A light on the card comes on.
The lights on the switch come on.
% ifconfig eth0 inet 192.168.100.50
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable.

The NIC is el-cheapo no-name hardware. It is not removable.
Please tell me I don't need to go browsing through the linux hardware
compatibility lists.
