I have a somewhat old 486 box I'm using as a dual-homed host. It has two SMC EtherEZ ISA cards in it, and works fine under 3.4-STABLE. The cards are on irregular ports/IRQs/et al. My problem is that in the kernel config, it is only possible to hard code ed0's settings, but that ed1 is probed (incorrectly) by the hardware probe later, resulting in a hang. I'd be happy to either have ed1 not probed at all, or to be able to edit the settings ed1 is probed as, but not neither :-). Right now, without pulling hardware, there seems to be no way to install the snapshot, which is unfortunate given that it is a valid configuration, and works fine under 3.4. In fact, it would probably even work fine with a custom 4.0 kernel, but I'd rather not do that if there's an alternative (especially since it seems like there should be a way to make it work). Any suggestions about fixes? I'd really like to just ``disable ed1'' or set the settings correctly, but ed1 is unrecognized by the CLI.
