[G4] Help! Dead built in ethernet on G4 450DP?

[k s d]

Ok...
When I start "IORegisrtyExplorer" it starts with:
"Root"
Clicking on Root opens:
"PowerPac3,3"
"Core99PE"
"pci at f4000000"
"AppleMacRiscPCI"
"ethernet at f"
"UniNEet"
"IOEthernetInterface"
"IONetworkStack"
"IONetworkStackUserClient"
END

Not all matching up with yours... didn't see "IODeviceTree" or "device-tree" 
anywhere and a find
didn't find them either.

The "look-see" checked out fine.. clean & straight. I've also disconencted 
and reconnected the
modem/enet cable 3 times.. checking every time to see if the connection 
(magically) appears.
The enet cable has only been connected/disconencted from the enet port 3 
times ever. I never
had any other network cables conencted to the machine so it's no real big 
surprise that everything
there looks good.

I'll order the Linksys broadband router tomorrow... I can't seem to find any 
Mac-compatable cards
on the net for under $30... sucks compared to the $6-$10 (or free after 
rebate) cards offered to
PC users.

.....pulling my hair out....

Thanks again,
-kevin
