In a first step, I now check the CPU and the Ethernet chip which are
relevant devices of TS-5xxx boards. The only problem comes from the
TS-5300 board which has a different Ethernet chip, using the ISA bus.
I can't find other relevant device information about this board. So, is
the CPU detection (AMD Elan SC520) enough? Or should I add a module
parameter to specify the board model and avoid this pre-detection?

Thanks,
Vivien.
