I have two DE-220P (the ISA PNP version) cards running in two different machines. In machine one, an old 486, I used the utility program that came with the card to fix it at IO=0x300 and IRQ=10. Told the ne module io=0x300 and everything is fine. In machine two, a newer K6 with PCI and modern BIOS, I installed the card (out of the box) and booted up Windows to make sure it worked, and then used `/sbin/pnpdump' and `man isapnp' to set it up. Luck, Pann
