Agreed... there's a serious problem in the driver pcnet_cs for ethernet pcmcia
cards. It improperly assigns the interrupt. In fact, on the laptops I've tested
on, it insists on setting it to irq 0... Even when explicitly listing the irq
manually. Until 2.4.21 comes out, I'll stay with what I currently run...
