It would be nice if a * type of footnote were added to the enteries for,
for example, the WD7000 and the Fujitsu MB8696(0|5)A ethernet cards, that
indicated they are supported but are not enabled in the default kernel
and must be recompiled into the kernel to be supported. It's not
important if the SB16 isn't working at install, but for someone relying
on the Fujitsu-based ethercard (like these Gateway Tech cards we use all
the time in my shop) it would be nice to insure they know going in that
it's not gonna work to do a FTP install...
Vaguely related - my WD7000 is a SCSI card, the HARDWARE.HLP lists the
"Western Digital WD7000 IDE" While I'm wrong on almost a per-hour basis,
I'd guess this is a typo....
