Re: Detect a generic NE2000 nic?

Newer NE2000 clones that are PNP PCI cards are significantly different
to old NE2000 cards; I found this a problem for Linux lat last year too
(now solved).  

PNP itself is a pain.   If you can disable PNP that would be good - I
have found a PNP network card trying to set itself to IRQ 0!  If you
have a new enough motherboard see if it says the make/modle IDs and IRQ
as your computer starts.  My new version of PCTEST might be able to help
if all else fails.
