If you have the original disk available for the ethernet card, they usually have a ms-dos based configuration utility to test the card and set ports and irqs. Also take a look at the /usr/src/kernel-source under your module for the ethernet card and there may be documentation on options you can pass when loading the module. -- Jean Pierre -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
