[ATrpms-users] Re: FC3 mobo upgrade

[Andrew Herron]

never mind, I found the network settings command and reconfigured
forcedeth.  It had lost all settings due to the unconfigure in
hardware detection stuff.

The swap thing was just how console #1 looked (I can be such a noob at
times lol) and the TV card is now working fine so I guess reception
was worse than I thought last night.


sorry if anyone wasted time coming up with a solution for me :D
