I was able to hack fw to be able to use the ISA cards, here is what I changed:
In /usr/sbin/ethconfig line 84 I modified it so it would read: -----BEGIN------ # get card name if "bus-info" in ethinfo.keys(): if len(ethinfo["bus-info"]): businfo = ethinfo["bus-info"].split(":", 1)[1] name = filter(lambda l: l.find(businfo) > -1, lspci) if len(name): name = name[0].split(businfo)[1].split(":", 1)[1].strip() else: name = "Unknown Network Interface Card" else: businfo = 'n/a' name = 'n/a' else: businfo = 'n/a' name = 'n/a' -----END------ In /etc/rc.d/rc.netdrivers I modified this: -----BEGIN------ . /etc/rc.d/efw_lib.sh modprobe 3c509 /etc/rc.d/efw-network-rc6_rc7.sh -----END------ Hope it helps for someone in the same problem as I had.

To bring it up I will just try and make fixes to startup scripts, since with modprobe I can make them work Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated before I start messing up the install. And the problem comes on replicating the setup on the rest of the firewalls. I can change this one since I have it in the office next to me but doing this on remote firewalls will be quite a problem.

I'm guessing the current kernel doesn't have ISA support enabled. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...
