[ltp] Network problem...

[Adam Southerland]

I started with Slackwares base config files and modified the necessary files 
to get the cards working.

The good news is that I ghosted my drive before I nuked it. Right now I am 
in the process of restoring it to see what is going on. Maybe my PCMCIA dies 
or somthing... I don't know. Everything I did, I have done to the new box 
(or so I thought)

My hardware didn't change so I am baffled.

I thought it might be because my sound card was on IRQ 5 and my NIC was too. 
I fixed that and it didn't help any. (Note: Sound is not enabled at all 
within Linux)

PS2 doesn't show anything out of the ordinary =(

My restoration will be done in 2.5 hours (Printer port is SLOW!!!!)

Does that help anyone?
Thanks,
Adam

PS
Config files that were updated:
     /etc/modules.conf
     /etc/pcmcia/config
     /etc/pcmcia/config.opts   (Possibly a mem range need excluded... didn't 
look at closely... did exclude IRQs though)
     /etc/XF86Config
