For the NE2000 problem, "take a look at how many chips there are that
claim to be an NE2000" in sys/dev/pci/if_ne_pci.c
chances are the CATS firmware doesn't match all of those vendor/product
combos.
Re. isapnp... you have to have Very Current sources to even have a
prayer of using isapnp on an arm32 system... better press on that
portmaster to get the CATS support code into the mainline :-)
