[ltp] Kernel 2.4.20 and PCMCIA

[Adam Southerland]

Thanks... =)

Is there another group or a howto that explains how I can setup my network 
and pcmcia entirely from the shell/console/bash?

Ex. set eth0 to use 8139too    and properly run through ifconfig eth0 up, 
dhcpcd -a <something> eth0

I'm learning a lot and it's cool, but I am finding it hard to find this type 
of information... The scripts are sometimes cryptic with the way it works...

I think I have it figured out enough to just find networking but not 
entirely sure...

Adam

"unused" just means that there is no other module loaded that depends
on the 8139too module. It is no indication whether the device is
working or not.
