The kernel in the install distribution is compiled with irq 9 hard wired
for we0, as it says in the INSTALL doc...

To be detected by the distributed kernels, the devices must
be configured as follows:

<other devices cut out>

SMC/WD 8003, 8013, Elite16, and Elite16 Ultra Ethernet boards
                we0     0x280   9               iomem 0xd0000
                we1     0x300   10              iomem 0xcc000

Is there a reason why you can't configure your card this way? The other
solution is to use a different kernel which I could build for you.
