Hm, if Debian is going to use 2.2.19 as the default kernel in Potato's
i386, there would be a problem.

Aha, so it is not detected without your help. The simplest way: add the
card in the autoprobing sequence of isa-cards. Edit the file
/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/Space.c, locate this line
static struct devprobe isa_probes[] __initdata = {
and add the following in the next line:
{winbond840_probe, 0}

Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
