-current has support for shared interrupts in int(4) as of ~1
week ago, but 2.0 does not. Unfortunately, this won't be enough.
The short is it won't work, the long is below.

Off the top of my head, there are two problems that will hinder
functionality. First, HPC assumes that the version of chip it's
dealing with can be determined by the machine it's running on.
For instance, hpc1.x on IP12/20, hpc3 on ip22/24. This isn't
always the case, as there exist gio32 hpc1.5-based seeq and
scsi cards that'll work on the Indigos and Indy. I'm not sure
if there ever were hpc3-based gio32 cards, or, for that matter,
gio64-based hpc3 cards for the indigo2. Second, the hpc driver's
static configuration table includes interrupt vectors that will
be incorrect for add-on adapters.

Furthermore, while I've tried to get my e++ hpc1.5 ethernet
adapter to work in my Indy and Indigo, I've been unsuccessful.
Interrupts appear to come across, but it doesn't look like it
does DMA properly, although the Indigo appears to at least
receive packets.

Cheers,
Steve
