[BProc] Kernel: compile network devices as modules?

[jeremy a. <arc...@co...>]

The question:  Do network devices need to be compiled as modules? 

I have them compiled into the kernel, hence almost using nothing from
/etc/beowulf/config.boot except for the long pci list.

Does anyone else have their network devices compiled into the kernel rather than
as modules?


The reason I ask is because I have now gotten to here:

rebooting in 2 secs


but then....
