[WBEL-users] Adaptec quad ethernet cards

[Laurikainen, Tuukka]

Responding to my self..

The DL10050 works perfectly if compiled with CONFIG_SUNDANCE_MMIO=N.
This has been addressed also in a bugzilla.redhat.com bug 78819 and is
not a recommended option in the kernel config. My stupidity, sorry
folks. 

Regards,

tuukka
