Doug White spake unto us thusly: ed0 is reserved for the ISA driver in the GENERIC kernel. ed1 and up is for PCI NE2000s. I find it *very* difficult to believe you are correct in this. ed0/ed1 are specifically reserved for SMC80xx (as well as others) NIC's. The SMC80xx (we use the 8013's, as does about 1/3rd of the planet who bought em years and years ago...) are *only* available as ISA cars (AFAIK)... What if I want 2 of these NICS in 1 machine? Your assertion would tend to indicate that I would be unable to do this, as I would have to have ed1 filled by a non-ISA NIC. Thoughts, comments, corrections, advice??? J.A.
