Re: 1.3 Amiga Kernel Recompile

[David Brownlee <abs%anim.dreamworks.com@localhost>]

        It _shouldnt_ require defining any ethernet cards to work - the
        messages you received were definitely evidence of a bug (albeit
        not a critical one :) Could you submit a PR containing a copy of
        your config file, plus the errors received, so it doesn't fall
        through the cracks. (Of course, if you can submit a fix at the
        same time, that would be really great :)

           Raise your standards and lower your expectations...
                    and we'll get along just fine.
