>Description:
	When booting multiuser with the Ethernet card (3c589C) in the lower
	slot and the modem card (LASAT CREDIT 288) in the upper slot of this
	no-namish 486DX2 laptop, the Ethernet card isn't recognized by the
	kernel. It is recognized when

	booting single user OR
	booting when the modem card is out OR
	booting with Ethernet in the upper and modem in the lower OR
	ejecting and re-inserting it after the kernel has booted.

	The latter would require user intervention to configure the card,
	however.

The behaviour is the same when using the generic 1.3.1 kernel.

	Here is the msgbuf from this boot (with ethernet in the upper slot):

>How-To-Repeat:
	Boot multiuser. Wonder why you cant mount over nfs. Dont find any 
	ethernet devices. Check /kern/msgbuf. Curse.
>Fix:
	Fix is n/a.
	Workaround for me: remove the serial card, or swap serial and ethernet.
