Re: Debian 11 installation attempt / walkthrough

Hi Carsten,

are you certain this is a hardware issue, not a bug in the smc91x driver?

As far as I remember, there is a MinT driver for that card that could be 
used for a function test ...

The reason I'm asking is that I have not been able to test that driver 
on my Falcon for a long time, so some regression may well have crept in ...

Cheers,

	Michael
