'Fixed' with a hack to kudzu to recognize those cards. Should be in 0.99.67-1.

Comment 2 Warren Togami 2002-08-25 05:17:49 EDT

I am unable to boot normally on this laptop to test 8139cp, but when I boot with
"pci=conf2" it seems unable to use 8139cp module.   Is this normal?

(This is with kernel-2.4.20-pre-4-ac1.)

Comment 3 Alan Cox 2002-08-25 07:50:52 EDT

pci=conf2 is only supported by some very old mostly 486 chipsets
pci=conf1 is used by all modern systems
