Thanks, Richard. I'm not sure how I did it, but suddenly it 'just worked'.
What I can't do is
/etc/init.d/net.eth1 restart
If I shut it down, then I need to either reboot or kill the ipw3945d, then
start it again. I put the ipw3956d call in /etc/conf.d/local.start, which
brings it up fine. Very kludged, but maybe once I get X running at more than
1024x768 I'll spend more time on it. Getting the wireless part working so I
could emerge away from a switch was the first biggie.
