Re: linux5 progress

["Greg Tripp" <greg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Seth,

Mitch mentioned some manual configuration that you performed on the current system involving the sound cards and a hardwired address I think. I do not remember the specifics, but I think it had something to do with manually specifying a hardware address in the kernel configuration. Does this, or something similar, still need to be done?

Thanks,
Greg
