WARNING!!!  The SMC8434 requieres a motherboard that routes both
PCI INT A and B to the slot, very few if any PCI 2.x compliant
boards do this.  Nothing from ASUS can run this card, infact about
the only thing I have found that can run this card is old PCI 1.x
boards with jumpers to manually route the interrupts.
