Mac-on-Linux networking problems [Hoary]

Don't know if this is a Hoary-specific problem...

I managed to get MOL 0.9.70 working after following the Ubuntu wiki
instructions (which I ought to update with a comment or two re:
Hoary).

OS X boots (miraculously... first time I've had OS X boot under MOL on
any machine without having to install OS X *through* MOL) with sudo
startmol -X but unfortunately the DHCP internet access doesn't work.
I've installed the MOL driver into OS X 10.3.8 and tried fiddling with
the Networking preferences pane.

There are some other quirks that need fixing but internet is the most
important (this way I can use Ubuntu & my partner can use OS X,
without having to reboot out of Ubuntu). (other quirks: font smoothing
goes funny and an error dialogue is presented at login saying login
can't proceed, but, login does proceed nonetheless).

So... is internet a fixable problem?

Eric.
