[Simh] trouble selecting VAX ethernet on CentOS

[Michael L. Umbricht]

I'm having a little trouble choosing the ethernet interface for a VAX in
SimH. My Dell Precision M6400 laptop has the following interfaces:

  0  eth0   ; on-board gig ethernet
  1  wlan0  ; on-board wireless
  2  virbr0 ; used by Virtual Box
  3  eth1   ; PCMCIA card w/ 10b2 or 10bT connectors

I'd really like to use the eth1 ThinWire interface to connect SimH with
a hardware VAX, while using eth0 for my internet connection. When I try
to connect to eth0 or eth1 I get a segmentation fault. If I try just
"eth" it works fine and connects to eth0. I can't get it to attach to
eth1, though. Choosing from the "at xq ?" menu also leads to a core
dump. Is there anything that I am missing here?
