they weren't at compile time or at runtime, actually...  when i ran ifconfig, it
reported 5,246 errors (not sure of the exact number)...  this happens only when
booting to the newer kernels (i've had no problems with kernel 2.0.35 and
networking so far [crosses fingers] ...  just in 2.1.x ...  i'm using the
PCI NE2000 driver for my RealTek 8029 NIC...  i know it is NE2000 compat,
because in 2.0.35 it recognizes it and tells me it located a RealTek 8029
card... there is a RealTek 8129 driver, but it specifically says it is not for
the 8029

ok, i'll just turn my back when those net-pf errors come up so i don't have to
see them and freak out! : ^ )
