Whoa, hold it right there.  What vintage is your kernel?  I have a 
4/233 here that's seeing the "no PCI interrupt" symptoms with the 
onboard ethernet, so anything that will help narrow this down would be 
a benefit.

Ok. That looks reasonable.

The point here is that I think you should be using the bus to map the
aperture for you; you need talk to Doug about this.

I'm sure the card works; there's no reason to expect it not to.
