Cool.

I'll wait for the new package

And I should have mentioned this before but didn't my PCI smc9432 (epic100s)
don't work I was going to mention it cause it is a fairly common card and I
think it should be in the main kernel but forgot so don't make a special
trip for it but maybe add it in the next update.

Matt,

Ah, it looks like the smc-ultra is one of those nics that also requires 
the 8390 driver to be loaded, like
the ne, ne2k-pci, 3c503 and hp drivers.

This requires a change to the /linuxrc script in the initrd, to cause it 
to load the 8390.o module.

I checked all the drivers, and I see that the wd.0 and the e2100.o 
drivers also need the 8390, so
i've updated the ltsp_kernel package and I'm uploading to the 
Sourceforge site now.

it'll probably take an hour or so for the package to appear on the 
download page.

Thanks,

Jim McQuillan
