	Understand.  Bekeley Lab has a nicer ring to it...  (Well,
	that depends, I 'spose.)

	I was at Livermore as an intern from 1980-83.  Worked for
	Lowell Wood on the S1 supercomputer (Navy).  Electrical
	Engineering was a 2nd career and I was in my mid-30's when
	Lowell had his 40th birthday party.  Edw Teller was there
	that day.  ANyway, I worked on porting Stu Feldman's
	"Portable" Fortran Compiler from (*don't laugh*) the project's
	11/40 to the S1 architecture!  --There's more to the story... .



	LLL was the best place I've ever worked; there was a rif in
	'83 that made me look elsewhere, but I managed to spent the
	rest of my career in HPC.   ...What a time it's been.


	But _anyway_:

	Re ThinkPad 600E, I enclose the followng console.log.  
	Why isn't pccard_ether being recognized?  What ifconfig
	line am I missing? or other config line?

	ifconfig -a shows that the 600E knows there is a 100 card there.
	In rc.conf I've got

	 pccard_ether xe0 start link0

	or

	 pccard_ether dc0 start link0

	I *had* and deleted:

ifconfig_[xe|dc]0="DHCP"
hostname="talk.thought.org"
defaultrouter="10.0.0.1"

	This seems to cause havoc; I'm guessing there is some other
	way f telling the kernel to exec dhclient.
