I don't think that the 'iomem ...' means anything because these cards (SVEC NE2000 "clones") don't have any boot ROM. I may be mistaken here because if you try to push a lot od data through the box then sometimes the throughput is totally lousy and it appears that the cards are dropping packets. By themselves each card appears to be able to do up to 600-700 Kb/s but sometime using ftp I only get 7-10 Kb/s, and then other times it's in the 200+ range! I've been meaning to replace these cards with some 3COM stuff to see if it works any better... Tony
