Oh, OK.  The ZEROCONF network was the curious one.  I normally run with it 
disabled which is why local-link didn't ring a bell.

Well....  It didn't help that I typed the wrong module name did it?

Try again with atl2 instead of what I typed....alt2.  Sorry...

You could also type "modprobe -l atl2"  and you should get a hit.

So, try again...and then check /var/log/messages.  Sorry for the mis-type.
