From what I know about the card it uses shared interrupts for | all of the ethernet ports. The question I have is does it SEE all of the | ports as separate cards or what?! I know it has a separate DEC 21040 chip | for each of the ports, so HOPEFULLY it just thinks it has 4 cards..... I don't have any direct experience with this card. I *do* have experience with other multiport 21x40 based cards. Anyway, I'm not really sure what your question is. If this card works with the same 'de' driver as the rest of the 21x40 cards, I assume the config is the same as for other multiport cards. Here is the relevant part of the configuration for a machine with one SMC Etherpower2 card (2 ports) and one ZNYX ZX314 card (4 ports): device de0 device de1 device de2 device de3 device de4 device de5 And is part of the output from the boot process: Probing for devices on PCI bus 2: de0 <Digital DC21040 Ethernet> rev 35 int a irq 11 on pci2:4 de0: DC21040 [10Mb/s] pass 2.3 Ethernet address 00:00:c0:2b:0e:c0 de0: enabling 10baseT/UTP port de1 <Digital DC21040 Ethernet> rev 35 int a irq 10 on pci2:5 de1: DC21040 [10Mb/s] pass 2.3 Ethernet address 00:00:c0:4e:10:c0 de1: enabling 10baseT/UTP port Probing for devices on PCI bus 1: de2 <Digital DC21040 Ethernet> rev 35 int a irq 10 on pci1:4 de2: ZNYX ZX314 DC21040 [10Mb/s] pass 2.3 Ethernet address 00:c0:95:f0:1d:20 de2: enabling 10baseT/UTP port de3 <Digital DC21040 Ethernet> rev 35 int a irq 10 on pci1:5 de3: ZNYX ZX314 DC21040 [10Mb/s] pass 2.3 Ethernet address 00:c0:95:f0:1d:21 de3: enabling 10baseT/UTP port de4 <Digital DC21040 Ethernet> rev 35 int a irq 11 on pci1:6 de4: ZNYX ZX314 DC21040 [10Mb/s] pass 2.3 Ethernet address 00:c0:95:f0:1d:22 de4: enabling 10baseT/UTP port de5 <Digital DC21040 Ethernet> rev 35 int a irq 11 on pci1:7 de5: ZNYX ZX314 DC21040 [10Mb/s] pass 2.3 Ethernet address 00:c0:95:f0:1d:23 de5: enabling 10baseT/UTP port Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
