Hoi,
I'm trying to install a Debian Woody on a Toshiba 1700-200 laptop and I 
can't get my PCMCIA NIC to works.

Here is the kernel message when loading the module
eth0: 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.18-pre4 Jeff Garzik 
<jgarzik@mandrakesoft.com>
eth0: Linux-2.2 bug reports to Jens David <dg1kjd@afthd.tu-darmstadt.de>
eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet board found at 0xcc055000, IRQ 0
eth0: Chip is 'RTL-8139C' - MAC address '00:50:22:00:a8:d5'.

I've found a lot of web page/mailing archive talking about similar issue 
and saying to disable the "PnP OS" in the BIOS. But on my laptop there 
is not such option. There isn't any option that looks like that, not 
even an "OS type" one. Is there any solution to tell the modules the IRQ 
to use? Will it solve my problem?
