Re: Gateway E-4200 install probs
Steve, I can let you know what I have learned --
the 3c59x.c file included with the kernel (even 2.2.12) is old and out of
date. You need to go to Donald Becker's webpage (cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov, iirc)
and download the 0.99L or newer version of the 3c59x.c file, replace the
3c59x.c file that comes with the kernels, remake, recompile, and install.
Rumor has it that the new driver is in 2.2.13pre? -- so 2.2.13 should have
it. Again, *rumor has it that*... so, you won't need to go through this
hassle always, just for a little while longer.
Have fun. :)
