You better use the ISA network card, but you can dump the IDE controller.
I've also written a driver for the onboard ethernet, which is based on
a NatSemi sonic chip (no lance), but it isn't stable under more than
light load. Sound support is still on my todo list. X is up and running
(which isn't a big deal, as the g364 is just a dumb framebuffer).
I've compiled more than half of the RedHat src.rpms and I'm now stuck,
because of egcs/ld/libstdc++ problems. After solving this, there should
be a little endian HardHat (or however it will be called) RSN.
