Multiple ethernet cards

[David R. Kohel]

I expected that I would need to change the IRQ on one or the 
other card.  The 3Com card does not have any toggle switches 
which can be set.

In a previous message I mentioned this problem, but didn't 
mention that one of the cards was not PCI.  Does anyone know 
how I can change the IRQ's?

P.S.  I have no DOS.
