built in support for device or modularized question

[Tom Wilson]

Hi all,

I got a box running Slackware 8 that I am gonna use to make a firewall 
and during a recompile of the kernel, I made the support for my NE2000 
clone ISA ethernet cards part of the kernel instead of a module by 
mistake and didn't realize until I was done that I did it.  

During start up, it finds the card and puts it a a DMA of 0x300 but 
errors out on IRQ 5 with an error 22.  Is there a way to pass different 
parameters to the drivers similar to the way of doing a modprobe and 
adding the parameters to the end?  I looked for a config file to add 
different parameters (and configure the 2nd card) in all the usual 
spots but came up empty.  

Also as an aside, when running pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf, the systems 
hangs and requires a hard reboot.  The only cards in this box are the 2 
NICS.  Is this because the support is compiled in instead of 
modularized?  

TIA,
