Hi,

I've just been playing with a 5.0-current snapshot (11/12/01) to
get a laptop with a wavelan card booting via BOOTP.

I have successfully compiled a kernel with NEWCARD and it detects the
wavelan and
it can be used.

Whenever I add the BOOTP options to the kernel, it panics during boot due
to lack of network
card for the wired_to statement.

It seems like BOOTP is coming in before the rest of the NEWCARD drivers are
loaded.
I know this is still experimental etc, thats what I'm doing too! ;)

Any ideas?
Thanks
Bry
