Re: NIC PnP
I had no loopback network device enabled in /etc/network/interfaces (found and
corrected courtesy of an old email in this list by Karen M. Self: much obliged
Karen) and IRQ10 was configured for pci/pnp in my pre-boot hardware set up (now
changed to isa/eisa); The latest state is that now at least the enables look
okay, but I get "Adapter Failure indication"...the fun continues.
Regards,
Dave.
