I am having problems getting this adapter to work.  I have followed Section 
7 of the FreeBSD handbook when compiling a custom kernel, and the driver is 
not detecting the card properly.  I know the card works, because I have 
used it in other environments.  I have used both the boot configure tool 
(-c) and the verbose option (-v) during boot.

During boot, it looks like the ISA PnP code will "claim" some resources for 
the adapter, most notably the I/O range of about 0x200 through 
0x300-and-something (don't have it in front of me right now).  Later during 
the boot messages, I see the "cs0 : ....." fails to probe the adapter and 
also the line "unknown:  <IBM Etherjet ...> ... failed to probe".

Since this card is technically plug and play and doesn't have a specific 
I/O range, how should I set the kernel configs to find the card?  Can 
someone recommend a good debug technique to figure out what is wrong?

If anyone needs more specific output to help me, I can send them.

Thanks a bunch.
