If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. This computer
(running RH5.2 2.0.36) will not see the network. Everything (routing,
cables, etc.) has been ruled out except hardware. If anyone has any ideas
let me know. Included are the tulip-diag output and part of the message
file. (sorry it's so long)

 Port selection is MII, half-duplex.
 Transmit started, Receive started, half-duplex.
  The Rx process state is 'Waiting for packets'.
  The Tx process state is 'Idle'.
  The transmit threshold is 72.
 A simplifed EEPROM data table was found.
 The EEPROM does not contain transceiver control information. EEPROM
