Hello,

I have successfully installed BL 3.40 on a old 386EX PC with 8MB RAM. 
Everything works fine until
I tried to implement network. I loaded 8390.o and ne.o for my UM9008 based 
ethernet card. But when I tried to start network with "ifconfig eth0 
<ipaddress>" I got "Illegal instruction". Same with ping <ipaddress>.
Searching internet I found something like "floating point support missing" 
could be the reason.
Is this the reason and how can I get network running with baslinux on the 
386EX?

Thanks!
