I think that there is a bug in that driver. In the pci attach routine there is an out instruction that tries to reset the card but does an out at the wrong absolute address; just remove it. I know because I borrowed the knowledge from the driver to port it to NetBSD... FYI, there is no reason for that driver to be separate from the ep (3c509) driver; they are 99.9% identical. christos
