My last mail , I said that the kernel showed an "Unknown Bridge device" at boot - up , and I was told that it seemed harmless and restricted to i81x PCI devices. I personally feel it is harmless , but , how can I make the most of it for Linux ?
Well this might be how my Windows 98 describes it : Intel(r) 82802 Firmware Hub Device Could veterans on this list please tell me : a) Whether this is something proximate to a real HUB? b) Whether I can do NIC - stuff with this card ? c) How can I make Linux (mine is RedHat 7.1 on kernel 2.4.2-2) make the most of it ? --or-- at least use it? d) How can I make a CD or floppy (is this question silly ?) auto-mountable , more-or less the same effect as you get in Windows ? I know PnP(Plug and Play does not apply to my question , but , may be that can be used. What I mean to say is : suppose I insert the CD into the drive after 1/2 an hour , I want it to be mounted at that time - I mean --- not manual mounting. Warm Regards, ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Shyam
