My bad - I was not paying close enough attention to /proc/pci, as it shows
precisely the hierarchy you mentioned. I guess that's what I get for
staring at the same bloody problem for so long. :)
At any rate, I started fiddling with it again just now, and now it seems to
like the card fine. I think a source of problems for me was that when I
booted the 2.2 "backup" kernel, it loaded the onboard MACE Ethernet
controller as interface eth0 (having no driver for the Asante card), and on
booting the 2.4.10-12a kernel, it loaded the Asante as eth0. Took me a bit
to figure that one out.
Thanks for your help, though! :)
Cheers,
Bryan
