Ok this really stinks. I decided to try out 0.91u, so i copied all the
files necessary into the drivers/net folder and
re-compiled the kernel. it doesn't work at all. It keeps saying something
about restarting RX 0/ 0 and says it over and over again...
so i had to go back to a kernel that has 0.91g.
I'm using the Linksys 100TX card. anyone else notice this? why would the
newer version not work?? that's scary.
i'm using the kernel 2.2.12
