You can set both port and IRQ at bootup with the -c option, but DRQ is hidden and only assumed to be 0. My NE2100 card (not HP, but it works) can be jumpered for DRQ 5/6/7/3, with "option 0" being DRQ 5. You *might* be able to use ifconfig to do this; I simply recompiled my kernel, since I was going to do that anyway. Just as a curiosity: is there a particular reason you used lnc1 instead of lnc0? Not that it really matters... I hope this helps, Ken Bigelow
