If you configure it once with YaST2, it works. But there will never be a popup
that new hardware was found or so. User has to find out itself that he has to
start YaST2 and configure the card.

Plug it in the other slot.
Comment 3 Thorsten Kukuk 2005-09-01 10:21:26 UTC
Ok, once I did that it always works. Do I need to understand that?
Comment 4 Christian Zoz 2005-09-01 11:13:18 UTC
My DFE 660 also works. At least plugging in the running system. I will test
booting with plugged card later. 
Comment 5 Christian Zoz 2005-09-01 14:46:07 UTC
It works also when plug before booting.

Please reopen if the problem arises again.
