--PEIAKu/WMn1b1Hv9 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Except for one private reply (which was helpful but unfortenately didn't work), I got no responses... Can I do anything to make this work (compiling with debugging options, etc etc), or am I just screwed with this card & -CURRENT? FWIW, the card & laptop work fine with RedHat 7.3. When I had RedHat instal= led I also tried one other card, a 3Com 3C562D which also worked fine. Then I tried to install -CURRENT using the 3Com, but sysinstall didn't recognize the network part and then hung on the 'Probing devices...' prompt :( I'm really out of ideas now... --Stijn On Tue, Jun 18, 2002 at 04:37:50PM +0200, Stijn Hoop wrote: > Hi, >=20 > After failing the first time a few months ago, trying to install the Xirc= om > card mentioned in the subject in a Dell Latitude CPxJ, today I decided to= have > another go at it, partly because of Michael Lucas's article about dualboo= ting > -STABLE & -CURRENT.
