thanks for your detailed answer!
as long as you think that adding more "unneeded" instructions might cause
problems and lockups for others, I'm happy to specify IRQ in startup
(but if there would be a save way for everyone getting _my_ card
th be detected automatically, well then... ;-)
I certainly understand why it would be desireable. The AST FourPorts
are a relatively common card, so I am more inclined to try to support it
than one of the no-name internal modem cards. (It also helps that I
happen to have one of those cards in my systems already.)
As I have time (hah!), I'll look into it, and I might be able to come up
with a patch, but it would be hard to get enough wide testing of said
patch to make sure we didn't break anything else so that I would be
confident enough to push it into Linux 2.2 at this point.
