OK ... I don't thing there are major differences in the code of TR driver
between 1.1.64 and 1.3.x, but please have a look in drivers/net/ibmtr.c :
the function tok_probe does the detection. Add a few printk in test place
where PIOAddr is set to 0 (= TR card not detected). BTW could you send me
your IO Port/IRQ/DMA settings ?
