The usual reason that I have seen why net0 times out on
an RT is that the interrupt level set with the jumpers
on the "Baseband Adapter for Ethernet" card is not the same
as the level defined in the "devices" command.
 
 I'm going from memory, but I think that the card is set 
 to level 9 as shipped from our factory (may be marked as
 level 2 just to confuse things) and the default in "devices"
 is level 3.
