I believe that I have to use ep0. It is configured for port 0x300 net irq 10. When the machine boots in dos, and I run the install software that came with the card, it says that the card is on irq 11 even though I told the BIOS to put it on irq 10 (plug and play is disabled). The Kernel expects it on irq 10. What can I do? I have PD440FX motherboard with a Pentium II. Do I have to jumper something on the motherboard? The card itself has no jumpers. Can I just switch the device to use irq 11 in the kernel? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Regards, Juan Lorenzana
