                  hand.

                  want to configure options for it. You should allow <span class="application">DrakX</span>
                  to probe the hardware for the card-specific options which are
                  needed to initialize the adapter. Most of the time, <span class="application">DrakX</span>
                  will get through this step without any issues.

                  to manually configure the driver.
