So you are saying that all the 3c509 cards should be detected at boot
time? I could of course try with a standard linux boot-floppy or something
to see if this happens, but when I use bootp, only the first is detected,
and always the same one. I looked at the code and saw some comments about
it being difficult to predict which card is detected first. Does this mean
there is a chance the kernel will detect the wrong card and therefore
never get an IP from the bootp-server?
