Hi there,
we tested this kernel today on a Performa 450 (aka LC3)
ADB works nice, dmesg shows that the kernel detected our
network card (Nubus Slot E, Mac LC Ethernet Adapter, Board_ID 0x2e)
Its an "Asante" card, but ifconfig shows only loopback device.
The modules had been unpacked beforehand.
Is this expected behaviour?
Best regards,
Stefan & Carsten
