It's the only one I don't understand. Oh yeah, forgot to mention. I am not an expert on iomem information, but I dont think that they can both use the same information. One of the iomem's will have to change. They cant both use 0xd8000, the other card may decide to use iomem 0xd0000 instead. But that has just been my experience in the past with two ed nic drivers.
