The SMC cards use two INTs, the ZNYX and | >Cogent cards only use one INT. | | That's not necessarily correct. It's all dependent upon how your BIOS (on | the PC) or operating system configures the PCI bridge and the Ethernet chips | behind it. Um, the SMC uses INTA and INTB - it is of course up to the BIOS to map these. The Cogent and Znyx cards *only* use INTA, so there's no way to map those (two or four) ports to more than one IRQ.
