Alle,

I have recently installed CentOS4.4 on an old Fujitsu E7110 laptop. I'm trying to get a Netgear MA401 card installed for wireless access but when I configure the card and start the network I get:

Mar 9 09:03:20 localhost network: Setting network parameters: succeeded Mar 9 09:03:20 localhost kernel: ip_tables: (C) 2000-2002 Netfilter core team Mar 9 09:03:20 localhost network: Bringing up loopback interface: succeeded Mar 9 09:03:20 localhost kernel: hermes @ IO 0x100: Error -16 issuing command.

Anyone have any ideas?
