This is a horrible,  it just fixed itself.  I dont know why. After I
powered up the next night I did ifup eth0 and it just worked.  I would
love to figure out why...   Right now I am happy that it works.

I still have not figured out the little thumb mouse pointer on the
toshiba.  Does anyone have this set up?  I checked laptop site and it
confused me (not hard).  As I understand it I can have three pointers
set up on this,  ttyS0,  psaux, and the third and use anyone I have
plugged in at the time.

Performance is crap on this laptop,  I think I have a few things wrong
with the setup right now.  ps says that the system map does not equal.
