Unfortunately, the 3C509b is an ISA card and the genius is a PCI. My MB
has only 2 ISA slots, one used by the soundcard, and the other by the
ethernet card so I can't switch. The setup works with (yuk) win2000 and
win98, so I don't think IRQ conflicts are the problem. My next move will
be to try modprobe 3c509 as suggested by another answer. Thanks for the
suggestion though, It increases the knowledge base.
