Re: [Trinux-talk] Nic Trouble.

I'm using .70

Do you really think specifying the address and irq will help?  looking at the
/proc/pci entry, it appears as if the device is detected, the system just doesn't
recognize the vendor and device ID.

But I haven't tried yet to specify the address and irq, because I'm unsure of the
syntax.  How would I specify these params?
