OK.  I did exactly that.  I suspect that it is close to the minimal
set that's need.

On second examination, it appears that RISC/os has the same
problem...  Now, to find a way to get a replacement part as well as a
way to program it.  Maybe I'll hack together something to allow me to
have a better MAC address in the interrum.

I now have the machine up and running.  I guess that I'll see about
building a newer kernel/userland...
