[Soekris] FW: Ethernet interfaces disapear?

[Chris Puccio]

Hi Mitja,

	Thanks for the reply! I seem to still be having problems tho. Don't mind
my stupidity here, i think im just aggravated. I tried your method here,
and seems like the power did not go on.

Hah, thats what the PCI adapter on the 4501 looks like. Then the card
looks like:

|				   |-|		|
|__________________________| |____________|


So, like you said, it appears that when facing the antenna towards the
LED's, it would be the proper way to install it..

The only way that I can think to use your method is to only insert the
larger part of the card into the larger part of the PCI adapter on the
4501.

If that is correct, when I do that, the soekris 4501 does not turn on when
power is supplied it it.

Do I need to add more power like I have seen in another reply? If so, what
do I need?


Thanks again!
