Here are the rules:
Drivers that can safely and reliably probe for cards will detect all
cards and don't accept io=... as a module option. (PCI drivers,
Exception: the ISA 3c509 driver with it's PnP-like activation.)
Drivers that have risky or intrusive probes will detect only a single
card by default and complain if they don't get an io=... option
(ISA drivers).
The default probe order for built-in drivers is PCI drivers first and ISA
last.
