It's been my experience that the ONLY way to ensure that the autoinstall
software of one of SMC's network boards works properly is to put it in a
system which does not have PLUG_N_PLAY capability and then ensure it's the
only card other than the controller and video board. That will tell you
right away whether it's jumpered/set-up the way you thought, and it will
allow you to fix it provided you're not trying to program a conflict of
either address space or interrupt.

Darn, I was hopeing you were going to pass on some wisdom as to how to get
the card working again. I'm getting the same symptoms, so I guess its
time to toss the card and try a new one.
Thanks for the help, All.
