i have the above card in my box, under lm7 and 7.1 it worked fine but now i've installed 7.2 i cannot get get the card to initialise, i have not changed the cards internal settings (full duplex non pnp) i have entered the io and irq in the linuxconf>networking>network devices section but when i run ifup eth0 or when the machine boots the error message 'delaying eth0 initialisation' comes up, i'm sure the card is fine and i have just missed out a simple step, but lms 7 and 7.1 were so simple hardware wise that i'm not aware of what else i should be looking at, what are the services needed to get the card working (as opposed to actual network service like nfs etc.) bascule
