[ML] As I have been subsequently informed, ne2k does not use iomem (I had them confused with SMC Elite Ultras which do, and use the same driver, too.) > BUT -- I had both of the cards running fine under Linux on the same > machine, with the same settings. > > Right now I changed IRQ's for 10 and 11 -- in case there's a conflict > with some other IRQ's on the system.

My 486dx33 compiles the kernel, including make depend under 1 hour (45 minutes is more like it). Do you have any L2 cache on the machine (IIRC, turbo switch disables L2 cache for the 486). > But the fact remains -- I had the cards working fine under Linux with > the same configuration.

[ML] It may still be that the kernel resource allocation refuses to try the second card because of the iomem conflict, even though iomem is not used once the card is recognized. So, you could lie to the kernel and set one of the iomems at cc000, the other at d8000 and see what happens. You can do that from (visual) userconfig, without the need to recompile the kernel.
