First make sure that nothing is using irq 10. Also check for
SCSI and sound cards and lpt ports are not conflicting in the 
address range. (Yank EVERYTHING out of the computer you can.)

Second configure the card to use address 0x300 and irq 10.

Third toss the Ethernet out on the driveway and stomp on it if
it doesn't cooperate! Is it one of those plug and play or does it
have jumpers, or a software configure disk? Make sure, if it is 
software configurable, to save the settings.
