Re: NE3: device timeout

["slack" <slack@home.nl>]

Ok i tried to compile the kernel with

ne* at pcmcia? function 0x360

but that doesn't work
don't know how to change the memory address the card uses. The BIOS of this
laptop really sucks, can't configure anything in there (not even PnP mode)

Can someone tell me how i can change this ?

Thanks
Marco Ynema
