[Asterisk-Users] ee1000 Ethernet in Dell 1850

[Orlando Guitián]

Rod:

We just purchased a poweredge 1850 and encountered the conflict with the 
card.  we did get the card and the system working.  however, the solution 
was to disable the onboard nics and use a 3com server nic we had in the 
office.  also, we were not able to use red hat enterprise because of the 
onboard nics.  we are not to pleased with the solution as we wanted to use 
both PCI slots for the te410.  however, one is better than none.

hope this helps.
