[64studio-devel] "Bootstrapping" an nforce-based machine on 64 Studio

Quickest (and maybe best) solution - put in a PCI network card, even a 
$5 RTL8139 card. Even when they work out of the box, I've found on-board 
network cards often grab a higher priority interrupt than the audio 
interface, which is obviously a good idea for a server, but not so great 
for an audio workstation.

Cheers!
