Might need a little more explanation: with 2.4 kernels practically all Linux drivers for ISA network cards should be usable on the Q40. You will still need to find the right driver and compile it. I could have precompiled some of them but I have no idea what other than NE2K drivers are still usefull for ISA buses > I thought it was only a IRQ/Address problem. > Theoretically (and I cannot really remember now) the card should have an > EPROM on it that retains settings.
