Hi, it booted up on a Core2Duo box but failed to connect via e100 NIC
to localnet.

/var/log/messages:

Jul 4 09:14:13 pooh kernel: firmware: requesting e100/d102e_ucode.bin

So where did the firmware go? -- I been using these e100 NICs for years,
2.4 & 2.6 kernels, never seen this kind of failure...

Thanks,
Grant.
