[Planetlab-devel] MyPLC installation in dell optiplex

[Mukesh Subedee]

Hi Marc,

In mean time, we want to install the existing GpENI planetlab with a 
supported PCI card before GpENI MyPLC is updated with this new change in 
e1000e driver. Can we find any list of supported PCI card for it?

Thanks,
Mukesh
