iopl driver didn't pick it up. I emailed Mylex/IBM, and they said that
they lost the user manual on the card and that it probably wasn't an I2O
device anyway.. then they suggested I ask on a BSD or Linux mailing list..
at least they were honest about it :D

By the way, it probes as an Xpoint Technologies (0x11b8) ethernet device,
product Id 0x0001.

I really hate to see this thing go to waste.. if I can't get this working
I'm going to have to resort to two Realtek 8029's for this Alpha.
