They get detected at port 0300h just fine, but I believe I'm not getting the irq # right, as I keep getting "ed0: device timeout" when I try to configure them (with ifconfig). I have tried irq 5 and irq 3 so far, and keep getting the same timeouts. Is there any easy way to check which irq they're set to? Even if it means using some DOS utility program, it would be better than recompiling kernels for several irq's. The card itself doesn't give much insight as to who makes it, etc. I doubt anybody will be able to tell from this, but I'll include the relevant stuff written on the card: 2000JA VER 1.1 307A A 'YES Netware Tested and Approved' logo two UMC chips three Fil-Mag "chips" And some other misc text such as: this equipment complies with fcc class a made in taiwan R.O.C. :-) Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I have like 8 of these cards lying around unused. thanks -Adrian
