#Include <hallo.h>

I have a STRANGE problem with my Alpha (Axppci 33, 166Mhz (alias noname))
To connect the Alpha to the network i have a NoName NE2000 with Winbond
Chipset.

When i boot Kernel 2.0.35 the Card is detected at "IO 0x8000, IRQ 9" and
i can use it.
When i boot Kernel 2.2.1 the Card is detected at "IO 0x8800, IRQ 13" and
NOTHING works.

As you can see below it seems like the kernel mixes the NIC with the
Onboard NCR 810. (The NCR 810 works, the system is boots from it.)
