[WBEL-users] strange problem with WBEL 3.0

[Kevin Gottsman]

Try disabling Kudzu and reboot. I know there are issues with this
particular adapter and Fedora. For me under RH9, it always acted kinda
weird with Kudzu so I just swapped the card and moved on.

Kudzu is the current fix under Fedora. It may work in your case.

Thanks,
Kevin
