MIATA variation breaking tulip found?

[Kristoffer.Rose@ens-lyon.fr]

Dear all,

I have "compared notes" with a colleague (thanks, Mark) with the same
machine as me (almost), and the only difference between his Miata (where
tulip works) and mine (where it does not) is the following in /proc/pci
(from a kernel 2.0.30 with tulip 0.83 but that seems to not matter, as far
as my tests go):

Mark:

  Bus  1, device   9, function  0:
    SCSI storage controller: Q Logic ISP1020 (rev 5).
      Medium devsel.  IRQ 40.  Master Capable.  Latency=32.  
      I/O at 0x9000.
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xb100000.

Me:

  Bus  1, device   8, function  0:
    SCSI storage controller: Q Logic ISP1020 (rev 5).
      Medium devsel.  IRQ 36.  Master Capable.  Latency=32.  
      I/O at 0x9000.
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xb100000.

Everything else is exactly the same.

Can this make a difference?  Does anyone know how it happens, and whether
one can influence this somehow?

Thanks in advance,
		   Kristoffer
