I have installed it and recompiled the kernel to suit, on boot up the system finds the card and returns lots of confimration information. However, as bootup continues, there are a couple of messages telling me that "device ed1 has timed out" and I can't get any network access. Do the messages mean that it is all configured properly and should work or are the messages only telling me that everything should work and the card is faulty.....am I missing something here in the setup? I've scoured the man pages, FAQ and handbook, (OK, so haven't bought the proper books yet, but I'm going to!!) In the meantime...HELP!! Luv dirc
