No, you're wrong. You can send the card a sequence of inputs that, if it's really a Lance, will cause it to generate an interrupt. If you don't get an interrupt on the line you expect (or you get one on a different line), you fail the probe. You can then have multiple config entries at different IRQs, and whichever one succeeds will be used, ignoring the rest. -- \ / Charles Hannum, mycroft@ai.mit.edu /\ \ PGP public key available on request.
