The card supports I/O addresses above 64k, i think. It has a PCMCIA
slot as well on it, allowing access to the same

I have put my dmesg over here http://kromtek.com/dvb/dmesg.txt It
looks like lot of workarounds in my BIOS to me probably, couldn't
really make out much in there

The bridge features from the vendor are like this ..

PQFP 144 Package

2.5V Core / 3.3V IO
2660x2560 um2
100K Gate
4 Clock Domains
99.6% ATPG Test Coverage
32 scan chains

Implementation
Logical
Logic synthesis – Synopsys 2003.12-SP1

Configurable BAUD rate
9600 to 115.2K
16 Word FIFO
I2C
Master mode only
400k/s default



One of the things that really confused me was, on 2.6.17.7 in lspci it
always shows BIST is running. on 2.6.20, it is not there at all.

If this is a bug in the BIOS, i am wondering how the older revisions
of the same bridge works. The last two devices in that lspci output
are Rev 01 devices
