I think that you can use 3c562 as the PCMCIA Modem (or possibly
"normal" Etherlink III PCMCIA) with this pccard-test driver package,
but to use it as both "nep" and "sio", the driver must cope with the
shered interrupt problem.  Unfortunately, we have no 3c562 to hack.

Does anyone know the detailed (and cheap ^^;) guide of
multi-functional PC-card and shared interrupt feature.  PC-card
specification costs too much!

FYI: I released the new pcard-test package yesterday.  You can get it
from:

Thanks,
