The board is industrial grade, and it can be found here:
http://www.icpamerica.com/products/single_board_computers/5_25_NOVA/NOVA-4899.html

The version I have has the realtek ethernet chips.

Now, for my questions:

1) if I don't specify a device in config.lb, Linux will still be able
to recognize it
2) about IRQ sharing, what is the best solution
3) is it possible to enable ACPI without having the tables from the factory bios

Below you'll find an 'lspci -vvv' that I managed to produce

Thanks for all the input you may provide.
