[tulip] Only 1 port on a 21143 Quad.

:-) whew :-) thanks for the reply. -much appreciated-

With regards to the PCI issue, here's what i see:

In the Deskpro's BIOS, the only place "PCI" is mentioned, is under the
"Advanced" tab. There is a list of all the PCI devices there, entitled 
"PCI Devices",
with an IRQ that can be modified (or disabled). Under normal 
circumstances, 
this machine should also be running a 3Com (1-port) card and an Adaptec 
SCSI 
card (both PCI). However, until i get this Quad card to work, i've taken 
out the
other two cards (not merely disabled them in the BIOS, but actually 
removed
them from the machine). The only things listed under PCI Devices in the
BIOS are now: 
        Ethernet controller     IRQ 11
        Intel IDE controller    Enabled
        Intel USB controller    Disabled
        ATI VGA controller      Disabled

(Note:  The Ethernet controller mentioned there, i'm assuming to be the 
Tulip card;
        i've set it to use IRQ 11.
        The IDE controller's settings are Enabled and Disabled; ie., no 
IRQs to choose from.
        The Intel USB controller i've disabled.
        The ATI VGA controller is an AGP device, which i've disabled; the 
settings
        are either -some IRQ-, or -Disabled- .. --i was testing to see if 
it would still 
        work after i disabled it.. and it does :-)

The output of pci-config is:

-----------pci-config-----------

Device #7 at bus 0 device/function 20/3, 71138086.
-----------pci-config-----------

i assume the last four devices correspond to the Tulip card.

and the output of /proc/pci is:

-----------/proc/pci-----------

After i catted /proc/pci, i noticed that the VGA card registers under IRQ 
11..
So i  went to the BIOS and changed from "Disabled" to IRQ 7, and the 
output
of /proc/pci changed to:

However, the same problem persisted (only 1 port out of the 4 was found).

Thank you very much for your reply, and for your help,

All the best,

Vafa.
