I have had problems using the LANCE driver on my (supposedly LANCE
compatible) EXOS-105 card ever since. This driver isn't called alpha
either if I recall it correctly. No, after it has started it runs
perfectly fine. But the IRQ autoprobing never worked. I hacked it to use
a predefined IRQ and DMA and had no problems since then. I just wonder if
I'm the only person who experiences problems with this driver...
I think this doesn't give reason enough to downgrade it to alpha.
Unfortunately, I happen to have two of these EXOS-105's :-(
