Well, the setup programs, which came with the cards, show the exactly same settings kernel shows at the boot time (and dmesg(8) repeats). To add some info -- ep-card holds the whole system after probing, until you stick a plug into its TP-jack. I was told that, it is known for some 3COM cards to act like that under other OSes. ix-card works fine now since I started to use the multi-pin connector instead of TP one -- driver's bug, or I missed this in the doc somewhere? -mi -- И пусть никто не уйдёт обиженным... -- Why is that 2 o'clock all the time?! -- It is a manometer!!!
