Re: Xircom and Potatoe



   This card is a little quirky yet.  I have the same card and it
   does this nearly everytime I bring it up.  All I need to do is
   
   # ifconfig eth0 up
   
   and it starts working.  Even though  the interface already
   shows that it's up, I need to remind it manually to get it to
   work.
