Hi,
My laptop's motherboard set its RTL8139 NIC IRQ at a value that is not
included in the range 0<=x<16 and it's not 255.
GNU Mach can't handle that, and when I try a 'devprobe eth0' I get a
panic due to a failed assert (irq < 16). This patch tell GNU Mach to
ignore this kind of IRQ.
The real solution for this problem would be an PCI IRQ Router, which
is what I am going to port/implement in Mach soon. For now, this patch
helps by both removing the failed assert and by noticing the user that
the device is not being used for unassigned IRQ.
I guess that for such a small path using Savannah's Patch system is a
waste, right?
Regards,
Gianluca

It was a type of people I did not know, I found them very strange and
they did not inspire confidence at all. Later I learned that I had been
introduced to electronic engineers.
