Mark,

Look into what settings are in your kernel and compare them to what you
have set on the card.  In this case I would guess the problem is a mismatch
in the memory address (most NIC cards default to 0x300 I believe) and this
is a matter of rebuilding the kernel or modifying jumpers on the card.  You
can usually find out what memory address your kernel is looking for by
taking a look at /var/log/messages.
