no, but it will make live a lot easier, because address and interrupts don't
need to be probed by the driver. Right now interrupts are on my todo, since
there is some weirdness between guiness and fullhouse boxes...

it still needs something to setup the PCI bus on the card and issue
the probing. The problem with the Tulip Phobos cards is, that they
messed up the endianess, so that none of the Linux Tulip drivers will
work out of the box...
