You could try to find 3Com 100Mbit ISA card.

Another problem is that it only has 2 PCI slots so rearrange them does not solve anything (I've tried). Last night I was looking at the software provided with my d-link card and it seams to me that all settings (IRQ DMA) are assigned by bios. This is a real pain since it can handle one PnP card but not 2. I read on d-link that the ne2k driver would work if u have IRQ conflicts, then u can set all this with the OS instead, but Im not sure how to do that with mono (BSD). Any suggestions? Besides buy a new pc ;) NIC's used: D-link 530TX RTL8139 /Dennis -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Brett Maxfield [mailto:maxfieb at spacenow dot net] Skickat: den 2 mars 2004 11:44 Till: Dennis Wallberg Ämne: Re: SV: [m0n0wall] Network Interface problem Dennis Wallberg wrote: > > Hmm ok thanks for the advice, the thing is that the bios in this case > has a very limited set of options, but I will try to set the interfaces > in another pc using the provided software (DOS based).

In some mobo you want to avoid the top PCI and the bottom PCI, as these often result in shared interrupts which unix-like systems dont like. Sometimes the on-board peripherals also unexpectedly share IRQ's Cheers Brett --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
