I believe your Tulip/QLogic combo card was called P1SE or P2SE (the latter if there are 2 QLogics, the former if only 1). Not ever sold separately by DEC, but part of bundles on various boxes, primarily to conserve on PCI slots used in boxes with few slots or builtins, like LX/SX. I've had trouble at various times with 2.4.x kernels and those cards; when last I checked (2.4.21, IIRC), they were OK, but could be broken now. I believe 2.6.x is OK WRT those puppies, but I may not have checked for a while... Just checked: 2.6.1 GENERIC UP on LX164 with P1SE worked just fine, SCSI and NIC... --Jay++ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jay A Estabrook HPTC - LINUX support Hewlett-Packard Company - MRO1-2/K15 (508) 467-2080 200 Forest Street, Marlboro MA 01752 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
