3C90x - Do I have to configure the 3C90X NIC?

Question:
Do I have to configure my 3Com 3C90X PCI NIC for my computer?

Answer:
PCI is a self-configuring bus architecture. Most of the time you will only need to install the board in your system;
PCI does the rest. However, on some PCI computers (mostly with combination PCI/ISA or PCI/EISA buses in the
same machine), you may be required to configure the computer's BIOS manually after installing your PCI NIC.
If you need to configure your system manually, refer to the owner's guide for your computer. 3Com testing has shown,
for example, that the AST Premmia GX P90 seems to require you to run the EISA configuration utility once you install
the board to make sure that the I/O base address of the device does not conflict with other devices in the system.
