HI,
Im trying to get my D-link DE-220P ethernet card working with linux
while still functional with windows.
I can set it to PnP mode or Non PnP mode where i set it irq , i/o etc.
With PnP mode its set up irq = 5 i/o = 240
Then i put it into non pnp mode ( so linux can use also)
under the same settings irq = 5 i/o = 240
Then i reboot into windows i have no network card at all and now my sound
card which was at irc = 9 i/o =E800-E83F
now goes onto irq = 5
so no network card is found at all.
I cannot change irq of sound card.
I now decide to change irc of NIC
to irq = 9 i/o = 240
But it tell me i canot do this.
Damn.

There are no irqs availible.
All taken up by other devices...
Anyone know how i can set the card to irq=5 i/o = 240 while when i reboot
sound card is still at irq= 9
???
This is really annoying.. i have even got a 3com card from a friend but it
turns out this 3com card is busted :(

Any help with this would be excellent.....

Even some way of getting te card in PnP mode working with linux.
Thanks in advance,
Alan
