If this is an "SMC Elite Ultra" it is supported. I have used these
for years.
From "man we" output:
NAME
we - Western Digital/SMC WD80x3, SMC Elite Ultra, and SMC EtherEZ Ether-
net cards device driver
SYNOPSIS
we0 at isa? port 0x280 iomem 0xd0000 irq 9
we1 at isa? port 0x300 iomem 0xcc000 irq 10
we* at mca? slot ?
DESCRIPTION
The we device driver supports Western Digital/SMC WD80x3, SMC Elite Ul-
tra, and SMC EtherEZ Ethernet cards.
I believe the jumper on the board can be moved to match one of the above
port / irq combinations so the board is usable by the INSTALL kernel.
