You need to know what kind of card it is. Is it plug-and-pray? ISA or
PCI? If you have Win installed on that computer, it would be very easy 
to go into the card properties and just copy out all of the settings
for the card, such as IRQ, DMA channels used, ports used... Then you
can use it for make menuconfig.
