Need some more info to understand your problem. Here is some info to get
you started.I have 3C905 and 3C509's in my dual smp and they get
recognized just fine with Mandrake 7.0. I do have an append in lilo.conf
with ether option.
append="...,ether 0x300 7,ether 0x3ff 9,...."
form is ether i/o_adress irq
Look in the /proc for info regarding the io and irqs, make certain that
you have the pnp os disabled in the bios. My smp box is offline right
now so that I cannot look up some info, I'm not sure where I scrounged
my irq info. It may have come from the bios during boot.
