If you have eisa0 and only attach to eisa bt devices, device bt0 will work fine. If you don't have eisa0 and you use the ISA declaration, it will be attached via the ISA probe which is more invasive then the EISA equivalent. >By the way, how do I set/know a port value of isa instead of an eisa port >number ? I can't find any isa port selection with 3c579 window on eisa >configuration utiliy... You see, the bt cards on EISA are slightly brain-dead. They use an ISA port address when an EISA port address would have worked fine. The 3c579 doesn't have this problem, so the port address is dictated by the EISA slot you stick it into. If you stick the card in slot 5, the address will be 0x5000 - 0x5??? (I don't recall how big the window is for the 3c579 off hand >:-- >:Justin T.
