Re: 3rd Call for help - Lost network card after Potato Upgrade
Ok,
I went into modconf and select "net" and "ne".
It said that this module was currently installed on my system. It gave me two choices,
Exit or Remove the module from the kernel.
Where do I specify the io-0x300? I do not see anywhere in the modconf that allows me to
edit anything.
