Tried that already :-) I'll paste my various config(8): try #1 (both adapters): controller isa0 controller pci0 device lnc0 at isa? port 0x1000 net irq 11 drq 0 vector lncintr try #2 (only pci adapter #1): controller isa0 controller pci0 try #3 (only isa adapter): controller isa0 device lnc0 at isa? port 0x1000 net irq 11 drq 0 vector lncintr try #4 (only pci adapter #2): controller isa0 controller pci0 device lnc0 try #5 (only pci adapter #3): controller isa0 controller pci0 device lnc0 at isa? disable I think maybe the driver is incorrect ? Tried to read it ... but don't understand it completly :-) (actually I don't understand it at all) The network adapter worked fine under winddoos (yeah yeah I know it sux...)
