RE: [expert] 3c59x problems

trying to specify the IRQ wouldn't hurt.  Assuming that this is a PCI card, as long as your PCI configuration doesn't change, you should be ok.  The IRQ is assigned by the PCI subsystem.    If 95 thinks it's 11 then try it ... if it's not going to work, then the worst is your system wouldn't boot ... but more likely, it will still just fail like it is now if it's not going to work.   Charlie     -----Original Message----- From: Shannon Johnston [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 24, 1999 4:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [expert] 3c59x problems I had a similar problem with mine. I had a custom system though. The only way I got it to work was to reinstall Linux. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Gabriel J.
