Re: [TCLUG:9684] New kernel

[Ben Beuchler <insyte@emt-p.org>]

Dmesg is pretty much clean.  I am logging everything, however, and there I
find this:

Nov  2 02:34:27 marvin network: Bringing up interface lo succeeded
Nov  2 02:34:27 marvin ifup: Delaying eth0 initialization.
Nov  2 02:34:27 marvin network: Bringing up interface eth0 failed 

My card is an ISA ne2000 compatible.  According to the ethernet HOWTO,
this requires arguments specifying the IRQ and IO address.  Since it is an
ISA device, /proc/pci has nothing especially interesting to say.

Curiouser and curiouser...
