The PCI finds the chip, reports correct IRQ, but then you try to NFS mount or FTP, it times out. The same with the lnc driver as ISA, after I entered the port and IRQ. Chip is found, but times out. And you can enter it in 2.2.2R in the visual. In 2.2R you could not. -- Ulf. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ulf Zimmermann, 1525 Pacific Ave., Alameda, CA-94501, #: 510-769-2936 Alameda Networks, Inc. | http://www.Alameda.net | Fax#: 510-521-5073
