You might want to look at dmesg to see what irq is being assigned to the pcic controller; it may be 5 if it's not 3. According to the tuples the offset (ether 0x81) looks right; 0x20 for config is the default but you could try 0x22. My guess is 5 is a conflict for the irq. I'd try 10 or 11 if they're not used by something else. Annelise On Wed, 28 Jul 1999, Matthew D.
