This can not be set statically from the DOS install disk. Yes it can. Just don't use Card Services on the DOS side; IT _will_ reconfig the card settings. (Use an F5 boot if necessary; I believe the installer or setup is intelligent enough to fire up the point enabler if Card Services isn't installed) We have a FreeBSD laptop (a Dell Latitude) with a 3c589 that we have to watch carefully when we use the ethernet card under DOS.
