Dapper : no connection to the internet

[Harold Johnson]

Thank you, Chris.  I'll try these steps the next time I install Dapper.
(Currently I'm testing OpenDarwin.)  It's strange that it didn't recognize
my Ethernet, however -- earlier version of Ubuntu found it just fine, and I
just installed OS 9 to confirm the Ethernet is still working.  (It worked
fine under OS 9.)
