Network cards are so inexpensive in nowadays ... I think people
won't have to use the 8 Bit ones never more. And if you need, you
can change the values in visual kernel config ...
I think IRQ 5 for network cards is only needed in rare cases.
IRQ 10 is a more sane default. Or do you all wanna say, that
most people install FreeBSD without X11 on a 80386 form 1990 ?!
Is FreeBSD turing PC's into workstations or is it only used
for lamer PC hardware ?!
