I was thinking that my problem might have been related to it being on a second PCI bus bridged by an unknown PCI bridge chip. But since the ahc driver, which works, is on the same PCI bus as the 21140A, I guess that's not likely. > Right now I only have limited number of cards that the support > the SROM information and that makes testing problematical. > (hint hint). Hmm. I will gladly test for you, but I can't send you our SBC which cost around $4K. Dan Eischen deischen@iworks.InterWorks.org
