Re: Problem with Intel WiFi card



Hi,

Past experience with other machines which had this setting had me set

the BIOS to configure all PCI devices (a proper PCI BIOS).  Setting to
"Yes" configures only those devices needed to boot and assumes the OS
will configure anything else.

I have such Plug&Play OS on a Siemens workstation and I just installed NetBSD on it and had to set it to "No". Such setting may be called DOS/Unix even, but it needs to be set to DOS.
