The problem is that the software (etherdisk III) isn't updating the NIC
to non-PnP.  If I run the config programg, it says I'm not running PnP,
yet FreeBSD and Win95 confirms that the card is running in PnP mode.  For
the life of me, I can't get it to out of PnP mode. <sigh>  Any ideas
on what I should do?

Well the wierd thing is that, I'm using the ISA driver for the card.
Win95 gives me driver for the 3c509B with eithr PnP enabled or in ISA
mode and both do the same thing.  So I'm confused.  Like I said FreeBSD and
ethernet troubles are hounding me regardless of the card I use. :(
