Updating home machines to MEPIS 8.0

I’m on machine #2 of my house-wide upgrade to MEPIS 8.0 which is my Son’s desktop. He’s got some network card that reports itself as a “davicom semiconductor” card and the upgrade didn’t like it. No network access. I poked around and found the following commands that when executed as “su” solved my problem. Note to myself in the future that this may come in handy:

- rmmod tulip
- rmmod dmfe
- modprobe dmfe
