Not being pnp, make them easier to install IMHO. I had to turn PnP on for a ne2k card to work with WinXP, now that complicated things (recompiling the kernel to support PnP, learn about isapnp etc). > Either way, ne2k had a wide i/o port that overlapped with other > devices' ports in most configurations (FVO "other devices" = > sound card, floppy, ide and parallel port).

To the OP: grap a floppy-bootable Etherboot ROM image at http://www.rom-o-matic.net/5.0.5/ (try the "ne" driver) Write that rom file to a 1440K floppy (720K, will NOT work) dd if=[ne_rom_image.lzdsk] of=/dev/fd0 Try and boot with that floppy. It should display the io adress you need. Good luck!
