PCI based parallel port question

[<fbrian@nac.net>]

Hi

>From an earlier post ... I am having problems getting my
pci parallel port card to work.

I am trying to use a plip connection over it.

output of lsmod

Contents of my /etc/modutils/parport  file

options parport_pc io=0x378,0x278 irq=auto,auto
options lp parport=0
options plip parport=1


When the box boots I can see where the BIOS sees the onboard parallel
port at 0x378

There is a section of PCI devices I can see a communication device using
IRQ 10 as well as my two ethernet cards...

Is the address wrong in the /etc/modutils/parport file?
What is the long string of addresses listed....
