this card uses the ep driver not the ed driver.
to use the utp port, add 'link2' to the ifconfig arguments
use ioaddr 0x300 and irq 10--if this is problematic, use the -c
flag at boot time. at the 'config>' prompt, type '?' to
get the help screen and set the ioaddr/port and irq as
required for the card. you'll have to do this every time you
reboot the machine until you build a kernel with the ep driver
set to the location you need
