Yes I have that page but no it did not change my ability to change my IRQs. I'm gong to be asking how to get DSL on Linux. One reason to get the network card to work is for when my wife gives in and we finaly get modern. But the only DSL providers that I know demand MS. But you distract me with what might be.

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.
