I've got a slew of the NE2000/WD8013EBT clone cards that *used* to work fine in in WD8013 mode in 2.0R, but don't work this way on 2.0.5R. If I try to set the I/O address, IRQ, and IOMEM address, the ed driver resets the cards into NE2000 mode. If I try the -1 userconfig value, the driver cheerfully tells me that WD8013 cards dont support sniffing the IRQ values. Catch 22. I can install using the ne2000 mode of the card, but I really need to operate these cards in WD8013 mode for lots of reasons. How can I make this happen? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Withrow, Tel: +1 617 598 4480, Fax: +1 617 598 4430 Net: witr@rwwa.COM R.W.
