I use the 3c509b's in various box's, all have the pnp disabled. I have never used isapnptools so I can't speak to issues there. I have used 3c5x9utils , works okay, but for trouble free performance, for me, I am using kernels with the module (3c509) compiled in. This is for systems with 2 nics, one for a cable modem (3c509 as eth0) and a pci nic for the internal network. -- Greg Madden
