Re: NIC - ifconfig - urgent!

[Desperado <b hou student qut edu au>]

That's what I think too. I've just upgraded from 4.2 to 5.2.
How do I compile support for net card? By recompiling the kernel? I've done
that when I was still using 4.2, but it's all in vain.
When boots up, it says "delaying initialisation for eth0". Can't seems to
detect my card.

Regards,
