+Q: My Ethernet adapter is detected as an AMD PCnet-FAST (or similar) but
+   it doesn't work.  (Eg. onboard Ethernet on IBM Netfinity 5xxx or 7xxx)
+
+A: The 'lnc' driver is currently faulty, and will often not work correctly
+   with the PCnet-FAST and PCnet-FAST+.  You need to install a different
+   Ethernet adapter.
+
+
+Q: I have an IBM EtherJet PCI card, it is detected by the 'fxp' driver 
+   correctly, but the lights on the card don't come on and it doesn't
+   connect to the network.
+
+A: We don't understand why this happens.  Neither do IBM (we asked them).
+   The card is a standard Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 with an IBM label
+   on it, and these cards normally work just fine.  You may see these
+   symptoms only in some IBM Netfinity servers.  The only solution is to
+   install a different Ethernet adapter.
+
+
+Q: When I configure the network during installation on an IBM Netfinity
+   3500, the system freezes.
+
+A: There is a problem with the onboard Ethernet in the Netfinity 3500
+   which we have not been able to identify at this time.  It may be
+   related to the SMP features of the system being misconfigured.  You
+   will have to install another Ethernet adapter, and avoid attempting
+   to configure the onboard adapter at any time.
