One of the configurations I tried was the standard one (port 0x280 net irq 10 iomem 0xd8000) so that I didn't have to change anything when doing the install. The fact that I could install 3.5 on it without changing anything convinced me that the hardware was ok. :-) But maybe I'm wrong. One thing though, I'm installing from the releases and snaps available on internat, although in theory only the crypto should be different and even that should be the same for the latest snaps.
