Description Janis Blechert 2004-05-04 07:24:29 UTC

this is a minor bug, but if you don't know that you do have a 8139too network card you won't know that you have to load this driver :)
This only happens with the 2004.1 live cd - universal x86 (i didn't try any other 2004.1), worked fine with 2004.0

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a 8139too card
2. use gentoo 2004.1 universal x86 live cd

Actual Results:  
there was no error message (as far as i remember) which said that the driver 
couldn't be loaded, had to load it via modprobe and worked fine 

Expected Results:  
it should have just loaded the driver like 2004.0 did :)
