Thanks for your help, but I'm about ready to buy some new hardware. I have 5 of the 3C509B NICs. I downloaded the 3Com PNP tools which are a self expanding .exe. That didn't do me any good, because it expects to have a hard drive in the system for the expansion. I really don't want to install

whether it actually does anything useful, but there you go. Has anyone seen a method (or know if the card supports it) to allow full duplex operation on the 509's? Brock Message: 6 From: David Goodrich [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Leaf-user] tulip problems Date: Wed

Charles, Thanks for the `steer'. The machine I'm trying to turn into a firewall is a P75, Dell Optiplex XMT 575. Apparently there is no flash upgrade for it. I plugged the quad NIC into my debian box and booted Bering with the tulip driver. All interfaces came up! But I also see a dummy

Bad etiquette replying to myself, but since then I've discovered the the pci=biosirq is a kernel paramemeter, so I put it in the right place. That got rid of the suggestion to use the statement, but PCI now complains about not finding devices 01:20, 01:28, 01:30 and 01:38. And IRQ is still set
