I did that.     I've found an interesting document
http://www.jfitz.com/tips/freebsd_etherexpress16.html
and configured the card according to recommendations there
(except the RAM start address):

   I/O Address:
   300
   Interrupt:
   5
   Connector Type:
   RJ 45
   Force 8 bit Operation:
   No
   Amount of RAM to Map:
   32K
   RAM Start Address:
   D800h
   Flash/Boot ROM Address:
   Flash/Boot ROM disabled
   Flash Remote Boot Program:
   None

Then I've put this in the kernel config:
   device ie0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 5 iomem 0xd8000

and 'boot -v' didn't detect the card.

I'll try different io's and IRQ's.   I would not exclude the possibility
that all 3 cards that I have are bad.   BTW, they pass the softset's 
testing utility, but I don't know how reliable these tests are.
Good luck with your work on the driver -- it's nice to know someone is
working on that!   Thanks.

	Vladimir
