At work, we have a need to revise our network wiring/architecture.  I've
convinced the power's that be to try out IP Cop for our firewall, instead of
the multiple Windows ISA servers we have now - the selling point was that IP
Cop is much easier to manage than ISA.  However, I'm in the process of
building the IPCop box now, and am having problems with the network cards.

I don't have the luxury of having 3 distinct models of NICs (we're doing a
red-orange-green setup).  The best I have is one or more DLink 538s, and a
single DLink 530.  The probe feature detects these models with different
drivers, which is good, but I need to configure two (or three) 538s.  The
documentation I've looked at indicates I should select a manual
configuration, and specify the options I need for the cards - however, this
documentation specifically deals with ISA cards.  Can anyone tell me what
options I need to set for PCI cards?  And where do I find the details for
each card? (I can dig out the drivers disk if needed, but for PCI I normally
don't need them).

Thanks in advance.  If I can get this working, I think I can get the company
moving towards Linux more (not that we've ever been opposed to it...).  

(I'll buy a beer for who ever comes up with the answer - probably at the
install fest in a couple of weeks).

Shawn
