- I have never had a problem with the original WD8003e 8 bit
- cards. You just need to remove the other ethernet drivers
- from the kernel if you want the wd8003 to be at interrupt 2/9.
- If you change it to something like 7 (disabling the useless
- lpt1 interrupt) it works fine with the other drivers still
- in the kernel.
- This is with various old wd8003es and 486/33s, 386/33s and
- 386sx/25s.
