Well, I tried 10 and it was a no go.....Like I said this is a pccard on a IBM
Thinkpad 770E. Anyway, IRQ 10 got me this in /var/log/messages
Jan 6 07:47:57 laptop pccardd[60]: driver allocation failed for 3Com
So.......
anyone out there with an IBM Thinkpad useing a 3COM NIC that could give me a
hand here?....
here is the pcard.conf entry I am useing:
card "3Com" "Megahertz 574B"
config 0x1 "ep0" 10
insert echo 3Com Fast Etherlink 3C574B inserted
insert /etc/pccard_ether ep0
remove echo 3Com Fast Etherlink 3C574B removed
remove /sbin/ifconfig ep0 delete
Also, here is the kernel part about ep0:
device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10
