All boot floppies after 2.2-960801-SNAP have problems with timing out on my PCMCIA ether interface. Haven't had time to really try to debug this, but looking at the ALPHA release I had the same problem, and haven't had time to confirm with the BETA. May very well be a simple fix, since you can modify the kernel drivers on boot, but everything worked without any flaws until I tried to boot and install with a later version. I have a Digital Ultra II and an IBM Credit Card Ethernet II PCMCIA. Booting from the distribution floppy recognizes the ethernet as ze0 and I can configure the interface, but then when I try to start downloading the distribution via ftp the kernel messages are something on the order of "Interface timeout..." seem to remember that they are PCIC interface messages, but can't be sure from memory. Now the real problem - I'm getting on a plane in 24 hours to go to Japan for 3 weeks so I can't debug this any further. I just wanted to know if this was a simple problem to fix or something that got broke along the way and will make it into the 2.2 RELEASE. js -- Jeffrey D.
