Thanks Richard,

I've configured eth0 using net-setup (wired network, fixed address).
At the moment I can't send any output of anything. The comp now for
about one week belongs to an authorized service partner of Acer.
There are messages apout resetting the PCI bus and about a failing and
resetting hda in the syslog.
These messages convinced me to give it away for a while.

Frank
