For ISA NIC's try booting into the visual or CLI kernel config and use the probe function to try detecting it. At this point you can tweak I/O, DMA, memory, and IRQ as needed. Once running rather than "ifconifg -a" use "dmesg | more" and look for your card(s). If you have a bunch of PCI NIC's I'd just throw all in the machine at once. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
