Re: Micro Channel Ethernet...FYI
Hi all,
Installing the module as you described below looks like it is going to
work. I am having a problem with matching up the correct kernel version.
I am running version 2.0.39 and the only linux box my friend has is version
2.2.1. Once I can match up versions a insmod should do the trick. I did
insert the lines suggested into the /etc/conf.modules. Thanks.
