Make sure you've got the right ``link'' args on your ifconfig command
line. I've got link2 -link0 -link1 for the UTP port.
Also, the next problem.... if you've got an IrDA port, make sure it's
disabled. If it's not, the sio probe fails and the card controller
gets IRQ3. All IRQ3s get snaffled up by the IrDA port and your NIC
doesn't work for apparently no reason at all !!!
