A properly implemented PCI card will attach the interrupt pin on each device ... ASUS doesn't seem to understand what a PCI-PCI bridge is and why someone might want to use one. Their BIOS only detects and initializes I have at least 6 ASUS based routers which use SMC EtherPower 2 and ZNYX 4-port ethernet boards. One router has got 10 ports, all occupied. The motherboard is the SIS chipset one, P90. I have got Triton II boards also, but I'm not absolutely sure that I have tested those with multiple ports in use yet (but they are correctly probed and both ports on EP2s are usable alone). -- Heikki Suonsivu, T{ysikuu 10 C 83/02210 Espoo/FINLAND, hsu@clinet.fi mobile +358-40-5519679 work +358-0-4375360 fax -4555276 home -8031121
