I recently picked up an AcerFrame 1000 EISA system.  This appears to
be a development server given to the old UltraStor corp.  It was used
to develop their 124 Raid board...

I have a 3c579 EISA NIC in the system.  On a boot (release 2.1) the
kernel (w/ 3com 3c5x9 support) will see the card and report the 
addresses, etc.  However the driver appears to look for it at a very 
specific port (set in the -c options?).  My problem is the EISA ports 
are much "higher"... and I can not find a place to set the kernel to
"look" that high.  

Is there a way to get my 3c579 recognized or should I start searching 
for an ISA version of the card?

Thanx for any info, and hope this ends up in the right place...
