D-Link DFE-690TXD in 2400c

[Josh Keady]

Never mind on that, I got it working.  It's just a matter of inserting 
the card at the right time, that being right after the first splash 
screen is displayed.  Then you get the option of "Ethernet slot D-Link" 
in the AppleTalk and TCP/IP control panels.  Switch to those and you're 
good to go!
