Guys, My NIC is not detected properly whe nI boot up. I have to pass the irq, etc. options thorugh lilo to make Debian recognize it properly. i.e. At the lilo prompt O enter, lilo=linux ether= 11,0x300,0,0,eth0 Can I just stick in ether= 11,0x300,0,0,eth0 in lilo.conf and make it work? THere's got to be a more efficent way to make this work. Can someone please e-mail me the answer? Thanks.
