I meant physical not as in physical-vs-virtual addresses (all ISA addresses, memory or IO, are physical in this sense, by the time they get to the bus). Rather, I meant that you can't determine which slot a given device is plugged into. If you have two NICs in two ISA slots, there's no way to distinguish between the slots. In practice, you'd have to experiment or remove a card and check the jumpering or some such. -- /Jonathan Lundell. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
