to get my PCI BIOS to assign an IRQ other than 0 to my network card. My computer is a H-P Pavillion 8160.
Peter, I am running a Pavilion 6330. When I got DSL. ot worked in Windows but not in Linux. I was told I needed to turn off the PCI in the Bios. Not only was I unclear what this meant, but I could find no such setting in the bios. However, after fumbling around, I looked again more carefully at the Bios settings and found one in Advanced for Operating System. The choices were: Windows 95, Windosw 98/NT, and other. Once I chose Other, the DSL began to work in Linux, ie, it saw my network card, and there was no problem with Windows either. See if you have that setting, and if so, try it. -- Bob Rea Freedom is only privilege extended unless enjoyed by one and all --Billy Bragg rear@sirius.com rrea@askjeeves.com http://www.sirius.com/~rear
