PCI Compatibility

Early versions of PCI BIOS do not properly support the PCI
specification and may "hang" when a LAN driver tries to load. If
this occurs, make sure your BIOS correctly supports the PCI Local
Bus Specification (v2.0 or later).
Some PCI computers are not self-configuring and force you to
perform some or all of the following functions by motherboard
jumper changes and/or BIOS commands:
Verify that the slot is a bus-master and not a slave PCI slot. In
K
some instances, the PCI slot must be configured to support bus
mastering.
Configure the PCI slot to support INTA.
K
Assign INTA to a free IRQ (interrupt) number.
K
Consult your computer manual for information on changing
motherboard jumper settings and BIOS SETUP parameters for use
with PCI network cards. If you set a motherboard jumper and
modify the computer's BIOS, make sure the jumper and BIOS
settings match.
