Red Hat Linux 6.2: The Official Red Hat Linux Reference Guide Appendix A. General Parameters and Modules we give standart form as: NE1000 / NE2000 (non-pci) | ne.o | ne=io_port,IRQ ne io=io_port irq=IRQ when in example: NE2000 ISA card at IO address 300 and IRQ 11 | ne=0x300,11 ether=0x300,11,eth0 i think the same for all others, either it's really not clear what you wanted to write, either something is wrong.
We're sorry you've found this table confusing, and will attempt to make it clearer in future versions...
