Just ran MS-DOS based setup utilities for each card. Neither of them (it's two different ne2000's) allows me to change or access iomem address or anything looking like it. BUT -- I had both of the cards running fine under Linux on the same machine, with the same settings. Right now I changed IRQ's for 10 and 11 -- in case there's a conflict with some other IRQ's on the system. Now I'll wait for 4 hours for the kernel to recompile ;^), and then let you know if that worked. But the fact remains -- I had the cards working fine under Linux with the same configuration. In fact, I have just installed FreeBSD on that machine instead of Linux, and didn't change or add any hardware. -- Arcady Genkin "... without money one gets nothing in this world, not even a certificate of eternal blessedness in the other world..."
