Hello! I see. My basic problem is that my test device, doesn't use the normal methods of supplying a networking device. It uses PCMCIA cards to supply them. And when I instruct the basic PC one to add both PCMCIA things to it, the first one goes in, that's for storage it seems, the second one, for networking does not. What I want to do is to produce a PC one, without the I82544 included in it. Equivalent to a bare PC board that was created without the embedded networking and perhaps even USB that was popular at the start of the time period. -- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] "This signature was once found posting rude messages in English in the Moscow subway." -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
