i didn't - i didn't know it existed!
i don't have an eepro100 card _per se_, btw, it's built-in
into the sony portable (pcg-z600hek).

hm. i used google to search, last month, for some of this
stuff. if my memory serves correctly, it was on gnu.org.
i definitely definitely came across a blank section on networking.
i promise.

okay, that i found and tried last night.
google threw up something on the debian lists.
the error message i get (from memory) is that permission is
denied because the socket is already in use.
so i took a look in /servers/socket and found a symbolic link
inet already existed (???)
so i did ifconfig -i eth0 and it said eth0 (-1)
urk.
then i did ps ax | grep pfinet and found that yes, a pfinet
_did_ exist, so i killed it.
then i tried the settrans command again and it worked.
ifconfig -i eth0 however reported the same message.
then i did ls -altr /servers/socket and it reported that
pfinet died.

i apologise: i'm over-sensitive to these things (given the
history of how badly the samba team leaders treated me and
my work), and tend to over-react to even the slightest thing.
