You just need to remove the other ethernet drivers from the kernel if you want the wd8003 to be at interrupt 2/9. If you change it to something like 7 (disabling the useless lpt1 interrupt) it works fine with the other drivers still in the kernel. This is with various old wd8003es and 486/33s, 386/33s and 386sx/25s. -- I am created Shiva the Destroyer; Death, the shatterer of worlds! Who is this dog meat who stands before me now?
