[K12OSN] K12LTSP Installation Westmont High School

[Bruce Anderson]

I didn't finish
     1) In the bios, I disabled the LAN  - supposing that to be the onboard
NIC
     2) I changed the Aopen AON-325 (Realtek 8139D) to Linksys LNE100TX
(Centaur-P).  These are both from DisklessWorkstations.com
     3) I swapped my long 50' crossover cable with a shorter 3' one.

If I change back to the Aopen card, it gets much farther than before but
ends with a kernel panic on the client.

I can understand that there might be some conflict with the onboard NIC; but
is seems that a longer
ethernet cable should just make it slower.
