This is not working 100%.... For a intel card eepro100 and e100 is
loaded.. I am looking for a way to disable the eepro100 (In the past bad
experience fo I prefeer e100).

But please keep devil-linux small and stable. The current 1.3 branch
still needs some cleaning. Devil-linux started as a firewall os. At the
moment is getting bigger with non firewall releated stuff.

I wood like to have compact flash version so no readonly root fs. For
example install-to-compactflash: Create a booting ext3 file system with
the file tree (no loop mounting iso image).
