Thanx for the quick reply, im familiar w/ the PORT
and IRQ but im absolutely new to memory address(iomem),
and the last lines...
f ep0 0
f ep1 0
should the trailing number of latter(f ep1 0) line be 1
instead of zero? what does that mean anyway?
is it really strictly necessary tp specify the iomem of
the 2 lancards, or will they work just by specifying
the PORT and IRQ only.
Really appreciate your help!!!
