[...snip...] So is it recommended to put ISA cards into PnP mode? I'm asking because I have a couple of boxes with two and three 3C509B cards in them. In this case, 1) how should look the corresponding line in kernel config? Just device ep0 ? 2) how I bind IP addresses to desired cards? And one more question: 3c5x9cfg.exe utility in the config section has "Optimisation"(?) entry, where you can select "server", "client", etc. What is recommended? Or just don't bother?
