The AHA2940 is a single-channel card. You probably have a dual-channel
AHA3940U/UW with an AIC7895 chip.

a) Stay away from Dell. Even if you get the above problems fixed,
   you'll find out the box has a broken keyboard controller.

b) It sounds to me like you tried to install -stable, which supports
   neither the Etherlink XL nor the AIC7895. Get -current, or get
   another computer, with an Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 and a plain
   Adaptec 2940. I really doubt you need a dual-channel SCSI
   controller if all you're doing is DNS "and some other things".
