This seems to be typo-ridden....

    ash> You can get get rid of the '(aka "Satan spawn")' bit.

Yes.  That's code for "Chris was here."  Doesn't mean anything to the

Yes.  That's the kernel's way of telling you that it doesn't have an
address for `i' because the module didn't export it.

    shawn> 4) modprobe ne and got:

    shawn> PCI BIOS reports NE 2000 clone at i/o 0x600, irq 11
