I have a NE2000 compatible network card.  Sounds good so far, but it's
Plug and Play (ugh).  It has absolutely NO dip switches.  I don't even
know what exact IRQ it is because of this.  I get timeout messages when
booting FreeBSD, and I'm stuck..  It is configured for the correct port
address...but I'm not so sure about the IRQ.  Can somebody tell me how to
find the IRQ out, without having to believe Windows 95?  Thanks for any
ideas..
