I've disabled them in the kernel config so that shouldn't be a problem.

lspci basically says the same stuff.

I tested the card in a Win 95 box at work today, so the card actually works :)
( a reassuring thing to know )

Details on the card (or on the chip more exactly)

ESS Solo-1
ES1938S  G408  TAUB42399
