Well, I tried this and... it seems to work! That is, it works with
"atlantic.c" but not with "ne2k.c", because ne2k.c also uses "outb_p"
and "inb_p", which this command has something to do with, I think:

    /* The following is needed for SLOW_DOWN_IO. */
    if (ioperm(0x80, 1, 1)) {
	perror("io-perm");
	return 1;
    }

Thanks for the help!
