My first Question is is that true? No. You will have to reconfigure a kernel if you need to add a driver that was not in the original distribution, or to permanently set the baseaddress and interrupt of a card that is not in the default location. >Next >after adding the Ehther net card a 3COM 3c509b I started getting address >conflicts at address 300. My CD-ROM is a Mitsumi CD-ROM and is set to IRQ - >10; Address - 300h; and DMA Channel - 5. My 3COM card was orginally set to >Address 200 and IRQ 3, which I changed to IRQ 11 and Address 300, 310, 320 >and 340 each of which gave me this same conflict at address 300. Boot the kernel with the "-c" option. You will fall into the "user-config" menu where you can manually set the baseaddress and offset of the ep0 probe. Since you have a 3C509b, the driver may not work correctly for your card, but it is worth a shot. You will have to use "-c" every time you boot until you recompile a kernel to set the location of your card. >My CD ROM >intermittely refuses to function.
