If you're using Qemu, ignore this...

Note that you may need the pcnet32 driver to use that image under VMWare 
or VirtualBox.  You can find a copy compiled for the 542 build (the 
current stable build AFAIK) here:

    http://www.vrplumber.com/olpc/pcnet32.tar.gz

Instructions on installing that package for vmware/virtual box are here:

at some point we want to get the pcnet32 and the snd_intel8x0 drivers in 
the devel images so that vmware/virtualbox users can just get things 
working by downloading and direct conversion of the images into 
vmware/virtualbox disks.

HTH,
Mike
