Cumulus bug and fix Chris Ross found a bug with Cumulus 5 for OS10 server. He writes: "I installed a new Network card this week to use one for web and one for our internal network. Well as soon as I did, Cumulus 5 went back into demo mode. Turns out it saw the new NIC and decided to attach it self to that one. Even though I had told the network settings to use the built in first. After hours of troubleshooting, we called Cumulus and they had never had a person install two NIC cards in a OS X box running Cumulus Workgroup. So this was a new one.... The fix was to uninstall Cumulus and reinstall it again then enter all the serial ad activation codes."
