I've configured eth0 using net-setup (wired network, fixed address). |
| 32 |
At the moment I can't send any output of anything. The comp now for |
| 33 |
about one week belongs to an authorized service partner of Acer. |
| 34 |
There are messages apout resetting the PCI bus and about a failing and |
| 35 |
resetting hda in the syslog. |
| 36 |
These messages convinced me to give it away for a while. |
