Hi Wade,
As the system boots I see lo, eth0(on-board), eth1(pci), eth2(pci), eth3(pci)
and eth4(pci) as they get configured. As I mentioned, I have correctly
configured all 5 pci cards when kudzu recognized them the first time I put
them into the box. The 5th nic just does not come up. No errors nothing.
