warty ppc switch from Airport to eth0 RJ-45

[Jeb Bolding]

This does appear to work for the network functions. My Airport card is 
on eth1 and that was where I ran into problems with eth0. Once I added 
it as, things seem to work smoothly.

And as for sleeping, the iBook goes to sleep and tries to wake up. I get 
a set of messages on what appears to be a text screen, but it's 
certainly not a terminal. Unfortunately,  the Gnome GUI never responds 
and I have to do a reboot. But, I've only had Ubuntu running for 48 
hours, I"m not done checking things out.

Oh, and my iBook is a 900mhz G3 w/ 640mb RAM.

My next task is to recompile a version of Enlightenment for Ubuntu 
(Gnome is okay, but I prefer the E eyecandy).

And, what's the Ubuntu PPC equivalent of a right-click to get the 
properties menu on a Mac?

Thanks for the help.
