This is now something like the fifteenth (15!) email you've sent to this
list, asking the same question.  This does nothing more than aggravate
those of us who are trying to use the list.  It certainly does not
expedite any replies.

What have you done to investigate this problem?
 * Have you verified that your hardware does anything?  e.g. are you 
    running RedBoot on the hardware?  Can it (RedBoot) use the network?
 * Does your device have a valid ESA (Ethernet Station Address, 
   sometimes poorly refered to as the MAC address)?
 * When you call 'init_all_network_interfaces()' (and yes, it does have 
   to be called unless you set things up 100% static using the CDL, or 
   provide equivalent code) will be to run DHCP to get an address for 
   your device. Does this do anything?  (You can see by turning on 
   DHCP_CHATTER in the DHCP code, and/or by watching the network with a 
   network monitor).
 * Have you validated any assumptions in the driver?  I know that driver    
   is a little "tied" to the A&M Viper.  For example, the way in which
   the interrupts are setup (the viper gets the FEC interrupt from SIU 
   level 1).

note: I won't be answering any followups to this, especially if you send
them directly to me.  Personal response(s) are only available if you 
want to contract for my time.
