Ok.

However I propably found the reason why tilda key doesn't work. If I disable
my PCMCIA-ISA io code and use old apne driver, the tilda key works. I
suspect that inb() and friends ARE used somewhere, where they shouldn't be.
I also checked the parport in this new kernel and it worked, but I don't
know if that was the luck or it also depends in inb() and friends.

I think that the easiest way to fix this will be putting back old apne and
8390 driver in current CVS tree, because playing with io code causes more
problems than it is worth. Any comments?
