I have installed RH Linux 7.1 on a ALR Q/SMP quad processor box. It is a EISA/PCI box running 4 - 133MHz processors - 256MB RAM, and 30GB disk. Nothing special, but sufficient for home use as a hobby web server. Problem: It simply will not talk to any network cards I have installed in it. Have tried a 3Com 3c509 (PCI) configured all the ifconfig params, and for some reason even after specifying interrupt 11 in the modules.conf, it is trying to use IRQ = 0 ???? Picked up a cheapy NetGear EA302c (think that's the number) which is an ISA card, plugged into the EISA ports, the machine saw it as new hardware, but again, will not talk through it to my network. Anyone heard anything about special configuration needs of the Q/SMP devices with regards to Ehternet configuration? -Rod Strumbel
