Marc, 

If I remember correctly there is a driver / utility disk with the card 
with a utility called ezstart ( or something like that ) that runs under 
DOS. You can set the card to either auto configure which port it uses 
or hardwire it for a certain port. I have had trouble using the card 
under certain *BSD's when set to the auto option so I always hard set 
for a particular port. 

Use the ifconfig link options to switch ports if you're using the card
in auto mode. 

Sorry if that's vague, I haven't played with the SMC cards for a while!
