[olug] Problems with setting up NICs

[Mike Peterson]

I have seen the pci_scan module referenced before also.
It was for netgear FA 312 cards.
I am not positive, but I think it is a 2.4 kernel module.
The 2.2.19 kernel with coyote does not contain the pci_scan but has the
8139too.
Let us know when  you get it working.
