[ltp] Kernel 2.4.20 and Realtek8139 with PCMCIA

[Adam Southerland]

The actual card is an: Encore 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet PC CARD (ENP832-TX-PC)
Site is: http://www.encore-usa.com (Or something to that affect...)

Removing the card for bootup made no effect =(

When I boot into the 2.2.19 Kernel with the PCMCIA-cs-3.1.26 it installs a..
TI 1130 rev 04 PCI-to-CardBus at xxxxx, mem xxxxx
Then it remaps to ISA IRQs

... Also, I just tried another NIC (The dongle is messed up so I try not to 
use it...)
IBM 10/100 EtherJet
hmm... its not detecting it and I didn't install drivers for it =) hehe 
(uses tulip driver)

Would compiling without PCI support do anything? maybe force it to use ISA?

or am I missing the big picture?

No, there should not be any difference between integrated and module.

What kind of a card is it? Something is way wrong for it to show up as irq 
0.

I have trouble with various card types. Try booting w/o the card and 
inserting it.

pci is the link mechanism to cardbus; i.e. cardbus is a pci device, sort of.
