I bought a new NE2000 compatible ISA ethernet card to run NetBSD 1.1.
NetBSD itself was installed fine, but it just doesn't recognize the
ethernet card.  According to the installation note, if a NE2000
compatible card (ed0) is configured to use I/O address 0x280, IRQ 2
and memory address 0xd000, it'll be recognized, but 0x280 isn't one of
the available I/O addresses on my card (only 0x300, 0x320, 0x340, and
0x360), so how do I ask NetBSD to use the default 0x300 on my card?
Is there any configuration file in /etc that I can change to make
NetBSD to look at 0x300 instead of 0x280?  As you can tell, I'm a
NetBSD newbie.  Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.
