verified. One bit of verification is that eth0 on schematic matches up
with eth0 in the $PIR table.

i'd like to run under tinybios and will try this once I trust the
tool. or someone can run it for me -- my FLASH on the LPC died.

yes, that's the last piece to put in, I ran out of time, if anyone
wants to drop that code in I'd appreciate it.
