I use the following config entry for an EISA 3c579 and it works.  Note
that when I configure the board with the DOS utility I set the IRQ to
11! but use 10 in the config.  I'm at a loss for an explanation.


# device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 vector epintr
#    The irq for ep0 is set at 11 via the EISA config program but
#    It shows up as 10.  Go figure.  dayton
device ep0 at isa? port 0x5000 net irq 10 vector epintr
