Any chance you're talking about the "do kernel configuration
in full-screen visual mode" stuff?  That's just for old ISA hardware,
*IIRC*.  On most modern systems you can delete that whole list
and everything still works.

The GENERIC kernel already contains support for the mly driver
(Acceleraid/eXtremeraid).

What's the onboard NIC?
