Can it be applied to:
ns: {1} uname -a
FreeBSD ns.binep.ac.ru 3.1-STABLE FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE #0: Wed Sep 29 21:54:10 MSD 1999
goshik@ns.binep.ac.ru :/usr/src/sys/compile/BINEP.ega  i386

with (from dmesg)

Oct 20 19:36:32 ns /kernel: ep0 at 0x300-0x30f irq 12 on isa
Oct 20 19:36:32 ns /kernel: ep0: aui/bnc[*BNC*] address 00:20:af:56:35:ac
Oct 20 19:36:32 ns /kernel: ep1 at 0x320-0x32f irq 11 on isa
Oct 20 19:36:32 ns /kernel: ep1: aui/bnc[*BNC*] address 00:20:af:8f:76:61
Oct 20 19:36:32 ns /kernel: ep2 at 0x340-0x34f irq 10 on isa
Oct 20 19:36:32 ns /kernel: ep2: aui/bnc[*BNC*] address 00:20:af:8f:93:a9

These are Etherlinks III 3C509B ASSY 03-0021-100-REV-B,
and they are probably PnP, don't remember...

But the machine itself is 486DX2 with VLB m/b, it's definitely
not PnP. Runs as internet gateway, web server and IPXrouted (yes...)

Or should i upgrade to 3.3? (no-no, not to current, been there 8-))
