At the moment, the computer boots, during which it reports: pci0:10:Digital Equipment Corporation, device 0x000f, class=network(fddi) [no driver assigned] I need to get the computer to talk to the FDDI card. I think that means I need to recompile the kernal and add a line in the config file which goes something like: device fea0 at isa? net irq? vector feaintr The problem is that the above is for the DEC DEFEA EISA FDDI Adaptor, not the DEC DEFPA PCI FDDI Adaptor, which is what I have. I can't find anywhere what the proper config line should be. If you know somewhere where I can look for this (other than the manual, which does not have it), or you just happen to know what the proper line is, I would be very grateful for any assistance you could offer. Thanks!
