Sorry to reply to my own cry for help... |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
I fixed it. After determining that net.lo is pretty much brain dead and |
| 65 |
not being willing to fix it... I wrote my own init script. It's even |
| 66 |
more brain dead, but works 100%. |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
The net.lo script and supporting code simply does not work as needed |
| 69 |
for this laptop. |

|
| 71 |
Cheers all... |
