It's an Intel 82557 Fast Lan Controller.

True enough, which is why I'm totally frustrated by this.

	127.0.0.1 localhost
	204.x.x.x fatcat fatcat.inven.com
	204.x.x.x mayhem data data.rangersoftware.com	
	204.x.x.x laocoon laocoon.inven.com
	10.0.0.1        booyaka-gw booyaka-gw.dmz.inven.com
	10.0.0.2        laocoon-gw laocoon-gw.dmz.inven.com
	10.0.0.10      tauhid tauhid.dmz.inven.com

204.x.x.x is the external network.  The 10 network is functioning properly,
although another problem I've discovered is that if I try to telnet to this
host on the 10 network, I get:

	Trying 10.0.0.2...
	Connected to laocoon-gw.
	Escape character is '^]'.

and it just hangs indefinitely.  It seems like the thing is trying to
resolve either it's own domain name, or the connecting machines.  I say
"its own" because you can see by the telnet output that the machine doesn't
seem to know its domain name, in spite of the fact that it's clearly listed
in /etc/hosts.  Odd.
