First, I want to praise the developers and anyone who has contributed to SheepShaver. It's totally awesome and works nearly perfect on x86_64 Linux Mint.
But there is one more thing,

I cannot get it to go online at all. It totally crashes when slirp was selected before I booted SheepShaver when I try to access any network functionality. However, when eth0 was selected before I booted SheepShaver, it does NOT crash. But it still can't get online. I get a weird 169.x.x.x IP address.
I've searched all over for an answer, but I can't find it. Can anyone here help me get online? I've downloaded sheep_net.ko, and I've sudo modprobed it. However, it doesn't show up under lsmod | grep sheep*.
/dev/sheep_net also does not exist.
What should I do?
