I think it depends who you are and if you volunteer to pay. I've often seen people with their chequebooks handing over money at these shows... ...the best trick is to say "Well I registered, but never received my tickets" to which they appologise and give you some tickets. It certainly worked for me on one or two occasions. In any case it only takes 2 minutes to register!

(or at least they did last year) really ?? I've been going to network/which computer show for the last 10 years or so, they say every time "costs X if not pre booked". When I've turned up they hand out free tickets on the door... I've never been to a show where I have had to pay.. then again I've never been to linuxExpo so I can't vouch for that...

If it's like Debian's modules.conf (ie, it's the antique pre-renaming file), then I believe it can also load modules on boot. Of course, if you want the module there all the time, why bother compiling it as a module? -- MJR

LinkSYS ethernet card under Linux
by Ashley T. Howes 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

I'm trying to get a LinkSYS PCI ethernet card (EtherFast 10/100 Lan Card) working in Linux. According to the instructions it use the tulip driver. I have assigned the tulip driver to the ethernet card, but when the tulip kernel module tries to startup it fails with "Device or resource busy". The machine with this card in is running Mandrake 7.0. Any hints, suggestions to get this ethernet card working? Ashley -- Dr Ashley T.

We've tested ircu, dalnet, cyclone and unreal, but I have to agree with Brett's recommendation. Unreal is almost certainly only popular because it allows opers to play evil tricks on users. -- MJR
