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

Ray, In fact the machine has 6 ISA slots, 2 of which are shared with PCI slots. I can get two interfaces up, eth0 at 0x210, irq 15, and eth1 at 0x300, irq 10. I'm running LEAF Bering and Shorewall. I've yet to learn how to use ip which replaces ifconfig, so that's slowing me down. The combina

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 inte

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 t
