I am now finding that the new kernel (2.4.20) includes P&P & is changing the 3c509 settings from irq 10 addr 0x300 to irq 5 addr 0x220. I am researching but so far without success. Anyone know how to either change the cards to fit the kernel or the kernel to fit the card? Steve -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
