Card works fine but I'm getting the following in dmesg:

ep0: <3Com 3C509-TPO EtherLink III> at port 0x300-0x30f irq 10 on isa0
ep0: eeprom failed to come ready.
ep0: eeprom failed to come ready.
ep0: eeprom failed to come ready.

ep0: Ethernet address 00:00:00:00:00:00
[snip]
ep1: <3Com 3C509B-TPO EtherLink III (PnP)> at port 0x210-0x21f irq 9 on isa0

This is an old card.  Notice it is using two IRQs ... annoyingly.  EP1 is 
the active link and it works fine.  EP0 according to ifconfig is "media: 
Ethernet 10base2/BNC".   Funny, this card doesn't have a BNC connector on 
it ... only RJ45.

So, is there a way to somehow deactivate the ep0 interface in the kernel so 
that it doesn't show up anymore and I get my IRQ 10 back ?  Or maybe does 
this card have a jumper I can set to deactivate the BNC capability this 
card apparently has ?  (I haven't checked the 3Com site for doco YET on 
this ... figured I'd ask here and maybe get a straight answer.)
