Two extra network modules were added to BL2.1: ewrk3 and
tlan. And eepro was replaced by eepro100.

The difficult part is figuring out which module (and which
parameters, if any) your network card requires. For example,
if you have two computers, one with a tlan card and the other
with an eepro100 card, it's pretty simple:
-------------------------------------------------------------
insmod tlan insmod eepro100
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2
ping 192.168.1.2 ping 192.168.1.1
receive send
-------------------------------------------------------------
The ping line is there just to test the connection. It doesn't
do anything important. The send/receive utility is the way to
transfer files between two ramdisk BLs. With a bigger Linux on
one of the machines (with web server and/or NFS server), you
could access it from BL using links or NFS mount.

Cheers,
Steven
