I had installed Slackware 10.2 (2.4.31 kernel with usb support) on that
machine but it does not detect the card (it does not load the module module
which I could not find in /lib/modules/.... in Slackware 10.2 which uses
kmod and hotplug...).
I just wanted to get more info using bl2 fd version.

The same for me when insmod without io address.

Perhaps it is a problem of BIOS settings but I can not find anyway to set
I/O in that BIOS (I am not an expert at all).
I will check the sites you suggested.

Giuseppe
