To follow up on this issue. In order to duplicate the situation,
AppleTalk must not be set to Ethernet. It appears that if any of the
system drivers opens the Ethernet driver then it starts working. What do
I need to do to get the Ethernet driver working with out one of the other
stacks also working.
Which Tech Note did I miss? :-)
