RE: [PLUG] Hey


Thanks everyone for the help with my ethernet problems.. and the "make
oldconfig" which I didn't know about before (I see it is in the README now
though)
My problem was somehow related to how the different kernels were handling
ISA PNP (or at least I think).. basically fooling around in the bios
eventually got things working again.  I believe my ethernet card was being
assigned IRQ 5 which was used by some other device, as soon as I assigned
that IRQ to legacy ISA it worked fine.. go figure.
ISA PNP cards are just evil in general I think, but I can't let go of my old
SB16s and 3c509 cards :)
