I'm having trouble with the "ep" driver and my 3Com 509 ethernet card.

The kernel boot and recognises my card, ie. it prints the address of the
card, but no packets are exchanged.  I question the configuration line.  I
put in the card at a specific I/O address, and a specific interrupt number.
But I leave out a memory address.  Should I put one in and if so what should
it be?  I didn't see an example of use of the "ep" driver.
