I made the changes and I was able to load 4 quadboards, 2 3com cards and
1 eepro100 (onboard) and I did some tests and it works fine. However the
starfire driver seems not to initialize more then 4 quadboards. I put in
5 and he doesn't initialize it and the others don't work although they
get initialized. Is there a trivial way to get more then 4 NIC's of the
same manufacturer running in one box. I also start believing that this
is a motherboard problem since when I put in more the 4 3Com cards, the
boot freezes after the SCSI BIOS init and before the lilo. Does anybody
have the same problem?
