Yes I'm sure. I use the ne2k-pci kernel driver.
Meanwhile I tried this workaround for my problem:
I commented out the test for the IO param in linuxrc of the
ltsp_initrd_kit:
case ${NIC} in
3c503 | hp_plus | hp | ne | ne2k-pci )
# if [ -z "${IO}" ]; then
# echo
# echo "ERROR! No IO specified."
# echo " The NIC requires an IO=0xNNN entry on the kernel command
line."
# echo " This is setup in the /etc/dhcpd.conf file using option-129"
# echo
# exit 1
# fi
#
# IOADDR="io=${IO}"
Then I made a new kernel with the buildk script and it worked fine.
But now I have a new problem:
When I log out from a X session or when clicking "Close Connection" on
the kdm login screen (kde-2.1.1) the X server doesn't restart. The
screen remains dark and I have to press the reset button.
