# Hello, I will now look for an ethernet card, which is what
# I need to talk to other computers. OK, found one! That is
# good, have a nice day (and don't call tech support, there is no
# need to panic!)
First the serious stuff.
CONFIG_FRIENDLY_BUT_VERBOSE_MESSAGES
Now probing for an Intel EtherExpress/16 Ethernet Card
I found your ethernet card at 0x310, IRQ 10! Great! :)
Anybody see any problems with that? I have a kernel that does that for
just about everything, and when I show it to Windows-Weenies, they get
this dumb look on their face. Then they say "cool, it actually works?" ;)
And of course, the not quite serious contribution...
CONFIG_MICROSOFT_STYLE_MESSAGES
Now setting up any plug and play ethernet cards you may have.
If your computer stops responding, hit reset and choose the
'safe resume' option when prompted....
....................................no ethernet card found.
Success!
*grin* They already exist with some crummy ATAPI CD changers.. :)
[root@eiterra /mp3]# eject -c 2
