Ayah!  Please don't do that!  The `attach' and `probe' commands in
userconfig are experimental and only of use in a couple of really rare
scenarios..  I am strongly considering taking them out, actually.

All you should need to do is set the port and irq values correctly and
make sure that the EtherExpress's shared memory option is also turned
on (your DOS setup disk should allow you to inspect/tweak this if it
turns out that it's not).

You don't even need to `enable' it - it's currently enabled by default
as you'll see if you do an `ls' in userconfig (-c).
