What you mean by `don't want to work with 32bit acces'?, does it
mean that the card just does not go through the 32bits code
(read/write)?, or does it mean it just doesn't work or makes core
dump?
Well, if what you mean is the first case, there is a little bug that
I don't know if has been propagated, look at if_ep.c at the epprobe()
function, around line 341 you have:
if (BASE >= EP_EISA_START) /* we have an EISA board, we allow 32
bits access */
sc->stat = F_ACCESS_32_BITS;
else
sc->stat = 0;
The time we come here BASE has't been initialized yet.
The correct thing to have is:
if (IS_BASE >= EP_EISA_START) /* we have an EISA board, we allow
32 bits access */
sc->stat = F_ACCESS_32_BITS;
else
sc->stat = 0;
Let me know if that solves your problem.

When I did modifiactions to that driver, I was able to test that
only in ISA (3c509).
