Hi Hannes,
it is ok to replace a fixed boarder with ARRAY_SIZE()
in this special case i would success the following additional cleanup
(untestet !!)

static int set_free_irq(struct net_device *dev)
{
 int irqlist[] = {15,11,10,12,5,9,3,4}, i;

        for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(irqlist); i++)
           if (request_irq (irqlist[i], NULL, 0, "bogus", NULL) != -EBUSY) {
                        dev->irq = irqlist[i];
                        return 0;
            }
        return -1;
}

....

if (dev->irq < 2) {
         if ( set_free_irq(dev) < 0) {
                printk(" unable to get IRQ %d.\n", dev->irq);
                retval = -EAGAIN;
                goto out;
        }

for me this looks more readable.

getting a free interrupt from a list mus be a common problem ? I am not in driver programming
perhaps such a code is already in place somewhere  ?

comments ?
