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?
