[MinnowBoard] TurboT Quad Core problems with Jetway ADMPEIDLB 2 port mPCIe NIC (via SilverJaw)

Just a follow-up...

The problem I was having was related to pci_bus automatic reallocation
during startup. I don't know exactly what triggered this or why it failed
but I was able to set "pci=realloc=off" in the grub CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
parameter and now the Jetway ADMPEIDLB dual Ethernet NIC is working fine.
