Maybe it depends on hardware (Mac model), I don't know. Prior to iMac I
had a PM 5500 (MacOS 9.1) with ethernet card and it expressed the same
behavior - I could not select ethernet in Appletalk control panel
without my Newt being connected with a crossover cable and "Looking for
MacOS computers" (otherwise Mac says smth like "Can't activate ethernet
port"). And after reboot 5500 could not activate ethernet either, so I
had to reactivate it every time I wanted to use NCU. When I boot in
MacOS 9.2.2 on my iMac I can select "ethernet" for Appletalk without
anything connected to the ethernet port just fine.
