The EISA bit of Wax and Mongoose are essentially the same.

That's also a Mongoose.
Interrupts probably work; I haven't tried them recently, but they should.
Port IO and Memory IO accesses to the chip from the CPU should work.
DMA from the chip to host RAM will not work. I've read the chapter in
the ERS which describes how to make it work; unfortunately, I don't
remember it in enough detail, and don't have that document any more.
