Added to "user_config.json" and rebuilt the loader, made no difference. Thanks for your reply - Never used "netif_num=2" before. Then after getting the driver to work the issue was dsm won't see hardly anything on a USB bus anymore since dsm7 and I had to use a patched driver for that onboard nic because they (manufacture) ran it through the USB bus.

Turned out 1 was attached to USB bus not the pci bus. I have a Nas box with 2 internal nic, 1 worked 1 didnt. Which isn't to say I don't want to hear about the insane and unusable extremes we could go to.Are you guys adding "netif_num=2" or however many nics you have, entry properly to the user_config.json before building command? The only other piece of advice is verify the nic in question (not showing up) is not listed as being on the USB bus with lspci (it might be lspci -nnq) I am in the US, and as much as I want to Frankenstein this mother, it's important that I make something usable and stable. Maybe there is a video card that came out a decade later that should not work with windows 98, but it does anyway! I'll really only be using it to write floppies of audio I edited on a modern computer, but I remember windows 98, and I want to make the short time I spend on this new rig as short as possible, so why not max everything out. Maybe I can trick it into taking more than a few gigs of HD, maybe there is a way to squeeze a couple more useable mbs (gbs?!) of RAM into this bad boy.

I can google the Windows 98 max specs and plug that in, but I have a feeling that there are some people here who can help me figure out exactly how far I can expand the potential of a windows 98 rig.

Why I need your help: I do not know what the limitations are here, and what workarounds may exist to push the limits.
