Is there any way this can be accomodated? Or is IRQ sharing impossible when you have four EEPROMs on one board? Not sure why they'd do that -- speed? Alleged speed increase, at least? > You don't need to do anything if your BIOS doesn't have the > PCI-bridge-IRQ bug. But in this case you seem to have that bug. Only > one of the four ports will have a working IRQ. It does seem that all four of the IRQ's work, though. Perhaps it's the multiple EEPROMs (or something) that allows this? I'm way out of my depth here now *8-/ But I am curious about what my options are. I've got at least a few of these cards, and it would be nice to use them all in the same box (that was the purpose behind buying them) for a 12- or 16-port router at our network's border. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Jason Marshall, [email protected].
