- P&P Works?
-
- If so, why was it that when I installed a new ethernet card (3Com)
- into a new PC here at work (a card that works fine in _all_ of our
- other PC's). The bloody P&P decided it was a different card to what
- it actually was, and loaded the incorrect driver for it. This meant
- that the machine was unable to connect to our Novell network. If you
- removed that driver and installed the correct one for the card, the
- next time it rebooted it discovered a new card, reinstalled the old
- _wrong_ driver, and stopped working again.
-
- If that's P&P working, I DON'T FUCKING WANT IT!
