Does your card say, in white lettering on the card, "INTEL 8/16 LAN ADAPTER"
or "INTEL ETHEREXPRESS 16 LAN ADAPTER"? The former I've _never_ been able
to get to work. However, you can try the following:
Make sure the softset sets up a _32k_ mapped memory segment. If possible,
put it at D0000. That is one thing I had to do to get a real EE16 working.
