new kernel and NIC

Thu Feb 12 12:47:03 UTC 2004

Hi Dave,

Here's a diff between dmesg for 2149 and 2166.  Some lines are slightly
different but I don't know what it means.  For example: 2149 says "using
bus-master" and 2166 says "enabling bus-master"

Also, kudzu says the following when switching between the 2 versions:
The following network card has been removed from your system: 3Com
Corporation | 3c905B-Combo [Deluxe Etherlink XL 10/100]  I chose to "keep"
the configuration

Thanks,
Vicki

odd, the last change to that driver was in 2148.

Can you capture dmesg output from 2149 and 2166 and see what stands
out (if anything) in a diff of the two please?
