[9fans] Troubles with DE500A

[Ruslan Shevchenko]

1. Are anybody succesfull install plan9 with DE500A ?
(Digital Fast Ether WORKS PCI 10/100) which based
on 2114x ?

I always receive message "Ethernet not found" after selecting
"internet" in cofigarch regardless of what I type
in "ether0=" line.

i.e. efffect from:
"ether0=type=21114x"
and
"ether0=QQQ"
is the same

Are exists way to debug process of ethernet finding ?
debug=1 in plan9.ini does not tell nothing about ether.

2. Are *all* network drivers are situated in 9disk.gz
i. e. if I change card, I must reget boot disk or
I need only change plan9.ini ?

	Try to remove excessive '1' in card type. It seems you need '11'
	instead of '111'.

	The latter. When I submitted config for my bootdisk, I did not
choose net card at all. I turned necessary net driver on only by editing
plan9.ini manually.
