I tried to install slackware on this box but it seems one of these cards was having some kind of resource conflict with ide0 bc whenever the disk was accessed extensivly like when I created the filesystems or when slackware started installing packages the thing would lock up. this problem went away when I pulled the second card. my question is how can I tell the 3c59x module which irq to use for which card? these are both pci network cards one is a regular 3com ethernet adapter and the other has bnc and aui connecters in adition to the ethernet. -- Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk?
