: The card is using UTP, and reading if_ep.c suggests that 
: 
: 	ifconfig ep0 hostname link0 link1
: 
: should have ensured it was using the UTP.  I get no ep0 timeout
: messages so it appears to be catching interrupts ok...

From the ep(4) manpage:

     Some models of 3c5x9 have all three connectors on them.  In the case of
     these cards; you must configure the transceiver type with the configura-
     tion disk before the link0/link1 flags will operate correctly.

This is a rather *interest* way of configuring this card but it appears
to be a necessity. Note: this is only in the case of the 3 connector card.
