Please:
- Reply to list mail on list. Response to list, Reply-to set to list.
This is for your good, not mine. Your liable to get a faster, more
accurate response from the list. This reply's been sitting at the
bottom of a stack of rxvt's all day.
- Post your reply below quoted material.
- Fix your line wrap. 64 - 72 characters is generally acceptable,
indicated by rules below.

At what point in boot is the card timing out? Is it during the initial
boot phase and detection, usually accompanied by a line or lines similar
to:
Linux NET4.0 for Linux 2.2
Based upon Swansea University Computer Society NET3.039
NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0 for Linux NET4.0.
NET4: Linux TCP/IP 1.0 for NET4.0
Initializing RT netlink socket
...or is it at some point later when services start?
If the former, you're going to want to change module or autoprobe
behavior. If the lattter, you're going to want to look at your SysV
init scripts and disable the misbehaving service.
Cheers.
