Have you tried the obvious of moving the cards between slots.  Some
conflicts are just because of shared IRQs (some slots share IRQs with
other slots, or other on-board hardware).


Yes, and I have also tried reassigning the IRQs with the BIOS to fully make sure that they don't conflict. I still could not get them to work together, so I am pretty sure that it is not an IRQ problem. Neither OS locks up until it has loaded the drivers for both cards.


i would suggest that you look at wireless Ethernet bridges. I have three of them on our home LAN and they are the simplest to configure, no drivers needed. I have some brand new PCI card adapters still in the boxes, gave up on them long ago.

The Ethernet bridges are configured from your browser. I have one from Linksys and two from Buffalo, the latest "Nfiniti wireless-N dual Band Ethernet controller" according to the box which I am looking at as I type this. Set one up and you can plug any computer into it, as I said no drivers to install, and in fact I have three computers and a laser printer connected to the four ports on this newest one.

My 2¢ worth.
