Hey, I don't know any config utilities for this guy, it's all PNP I think. Here's the thing... the BIOS has an option for assigning interrupts - you have four you can play with. ONE of them is "Network Controller, Display and UCHI". Which means they're bound, by the BIOS, to use the same IRQ. Now, if I go APIC Ethernet wins, if I go no APIC USB wins. If I disable the IRQ for the video card, it doesn't help! On Sun, 31 Aug 2003, M.
