Re: MkLinux Control Panel Compatability with Sonnet Crescendo C61-G3-1M-266 card

I too am in the same situation. I have a 6116CD with a Sonnet G3 Card.
Instead of altering the extension order, is there something that can be
changed in the kernel that would allow the motherboard to utilize the
processor upgrade? I looked on the Sonnet Technologies website, but they
don't have anything about Linux (no suprise!).

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks
