Re: Network problems with Vortex Adapter

1999-04-18 Thread Nils-Erik Svangård
I have had similar problems with 3c905b. The trouble is propbably that the PCI card is in the first PCI slot, the bios has problems reporting it to the kernel. Check the /proc/pci what irq it has, if no irq is shown than its the PCI slot. You can either change position of the card or turn PCI to m

Dayly cron job

Hi all: I've set up a dayly cron job to run at 11 pm. It's supposed to gzip some files on the system. It seems like if the computer is turned off at 11 pm, the job never gets done. Shouldn't it run as soon as the computer is powered on in case that it never got to run because it was off? Thanks!
