Hi,
I needed to setup an integrated net card on some old Compaq Prosignia VS
machine. It is a 486 EISA machine, with AMD PCNet32 driver on Processor
board. It wasn;t possible use the original driver, as it only checks PCI
(even VLB ports checking is turned off in sources). I needed to pass
IO=0x8800 and IRQ=10 to the driver so I have fixed it so it accepts "io"
and "irq" parameters.
The patch is attached. I thing passing those parameters can be usefull
in some other cases too.
Greets,
Jacek
