    SubjectPerl kills NE2000: needs power-cycle or Microsoft to fix!?
    OK, here's an odd one.  Twice now, when I've used "perl -MCPAN -e shell" to
    update or install perl modules, my ethernet has died. By "died" I mean nothing
    I do causes packets to go out, and incoming packets are ignored. Here's the
    really odd part: a warm reboot does not fix it. Power cycling the machine
    fixes it, as does booting to Windows NT.

    I'm running a fairly stock 2.0.34 kernel and my ethernet card is an
    NE2000 clone. I'm running as root when I run "perl -MCPAN -e shell".

    Any suggestions on what I should do? The following possibilities come to
    mind:

    1. Get the latest NE2000 driver and see if that helps.

    2. Upgrade to 2.0.36 and see if that helps.

    3. Grab a 2.1.x kernel and give that a try.

    My non-kernel setup is a fairly stock Red Hat 5.1, with most of the non-kernel
    updates from Red Hat applied.
