mysterious problem with NICs, isapnp, and modutils

[Jason Pepas]

ok, this is driving me crazy.   first, let me catch you up to speed.   I am installing debian on a 486 with 2 NE2000 ISA PNP NICs.  During installation, I use isapnp to get one of them initialized, and set it up as eth0 during the install.  no problems.   I set it up to use io 0x240 and irq 5   now, I use pnpdump and generate a new isapnp file, go in and set up the two cards like this:   io 0x240 irq 3 io 0x280 irq 5   I edited the "ne" file in modutils to load eth0 and eth1, with the above settings.   I reboot, and the NE2000 module finds a card a 0x240, and then uses irq 5 for it?!?!?   At that point I had no working NIC   So I went back and set everything up to just use one NIC, with io 0x240 and irq 3   still, the module tries to load the card as 0x240 and irq 5.   When I did the install of debian, did it create some config file somewhere that I dont know about?  Because I seem to be making all the correct changes and my system is totally ignoring them.   any ideas?   thanks jason [EMAIL PROTECTED]
