I suspect that boards in PnP mode will be probed in order of their ethernet MAC address, which will probably correspond with their PnP serial number, which is likely used as part of the isolation protocol (which determines detection order.) > 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? I suspect that those entries are there for use by the driver. Our driver doesn't make use of them so not bothering works just fine. -- | Matthew N.
