Re: [Thinstation-general] [Thinstation-developer] Intel D945GCNL support issue

[Vinod N. <thi...@gm...>]

hello,
       It is not working i have tried by building with given driver
modules, but still halting on Configuring & Starting Network.. anybody
of you is having experience with Intel D945GCNL.
       please let me know if anyother solution is there, as i am not
using the onboard NIC to boot the client, i am using RTL8139D with
etherboot bootrom to start the client, and also disabled onboard NIC
from BIOS but still linux kernel tries to detect the onbaord NIC what
to do ?

        I have reposted the request because it is not appeared in the
mailing list archive after 15 hrs.

Thanks

VN
