Ok - need advice....
I have a IIci running 1.1A very nicely thank you :)
I have an ethernet card that came with it - it's a Shiva Etherport II card.
Has anybody got this working || is it one that's known to be incompatible?
How would I know? I don't have anything to test it with at home!!!
When NetBSD boots up, it mumbles about Internal Video 640x480... then the
next line says something like "We think we are a Dayna, but we are not
sure. Unwise to continue" (something along those lines!).
The next line then acknowledges that the card is there, gets some info from
it, then says "Not configured". Is this something I can do, or does it mean
it doesn't have a clue as to what to do?
If it helps, I can get the dmesg output and copy it in properly :)
Also - if I _can_ get it to work, is there any way of knowing if it works
in theory, without having to hook it up to a network?
I'm running the GENERIC_50 kernel from wormey's site.
Thanks,
John.
