[olug] eth0 question

[Dave Homan]

I'm just curious, but Redhat 7.0 is pnp compatible, your bios is more than 
likely pnp compatible (since it's a 166), and the card sure as heck is pnp 
so why do you want to disable the pnp capability on the card?  Have you 
tried it with pnp enabled yet?  If you have and you want to run with it 
disabled, then you'll have to configure the i/o range and the irq just like 
the kind fellow stated below.
