I guess that auto-probing for Ethernet cards works for everyone
else reading these lists, or this would have been fixed already :-).
The 1.3.7 kernel patch set changed the "device" structure in
"linux/include/linux/netdevice.h" by moving the "tbusy" member
from between the "start" and "interrupt" members to between the
"base_addr" and "irq" members.  Unfortunately, this change was not
reflected in the declaration of "eth0_dev" in
"linux/drivers/net/Space.c", and my Ethernet card had not functioned
in any of the kernel releases 1.3.[7-9] because the IRQ wasn't being
autodetected correctly.

Here's a quick patch that you'll want to apply if you are defining
the ETH0_IRQ constant:
