Ummm, with mine (EtherH cad, bought around January) I can only use
Kernels up to and including 4740 in this way. If I just do an ehtest or
whatever under RiscOS first it will work 99.9 % of the time, apart from
all sorts of messages eg eh: no carrier , ehstart : failed to load packet
etc etc etc. If I don't use the card under RiscOS it almost always fails
to work.
All later kernels find the card but claim that podule8: not configured
(as the unsupported HiVision card does).
Any ideas anyone when any newer kernels may appear ?
Thanks,
Dave.
