Well since both cards are ISA...and both ARE working....it is just the fact that both cards are NOT listed in DrakConf.the 3C509B is listed...but not the 3C503? But the IP/DNS for NIC setup in DrakX is not as easy to understand as in 6.0 3C503 @ 0X300 IRQ 3 <---working 3C509B @0X310 IRQ 10 <---working Sound @ 0X220 IRQ 5 DMA 1 <---working They are both listed and working in ifconfig, but not listed in Drakconf as hardware.
