Re: [K12OSN] Nic cards

[<jam McQuil com>]

Joe,

ISA nics present a special problem.  The kernel can't
automatically detect them.  SO, we have to help by passing
information on the kernel command line.

This is done with option-129 in dhcpd.conf.

Take a look at http://www.ltsp.org/instructions-3.0.html
Near the bottom of that page is instructions for setting
up ISA nics.

If you need some additional help, pop in to the #ltsp IRC
channel at irc.openprojects.net.

Hope that helps,
