Re: Experiences with the 2.2.9 boot floppies
This problem I had with the ne.o module probably has nothing to do with
the boot floppies, but rather the new networking configuration. After
installing the desired packages and rebooting it still happened. I
checked /etc/network/interfaces and the configuration appears to be
correct. As a work-around, I created /etc/init.d/local and included
the appropriate insmod, ifconfig and routing commands. Now the card is
recognized and networking is configured correctly at boot-up. I'll try
compiling ne2000 support into the kernel and see if that works
correctly. As I stated previously, slink had no problems with this card.
