I /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt er der
faktisk et eksempel til lige netop dette kort .
Obs. anvend modprobe i stedet for insmod !

2) i /etc/conf.modules kan disse parametre angives:

  options 3c503 io=0x300,0x250 ......

3) IRQ kan også angives ved f.eks. at tilføje irq=9,11
   hvios auto detect ikke virker.

        8390 based Network Modules              (Paul Gortmaker, Nov 12, 1995)
        --------------------------

(Includes: smc-ultra, ne, wd, 3c503, hp, hp-plus, e2100 and ac3200)

The 8390 series of network drivers now support multiple card systems without 
reloading the same module multiple times (memory efficient!) This is done by 
specifying multiple comma separated values, such as:

        insmod 3c503.o io=0x280,0x300,0x330,0x350  xcvr=0,1,0,1

The above would have the one module controlling four 3c503 cards, with card 2
and 4 using external transceivers. The "insmod" manual describes the usage
of comma separated value lists.

It is *STRONGLY RECOMMENDED* that you supply "io=" instead of autoprobing.
If an "io=" argument is not supplied, then the ISA drivers will complain
about autoprobing being not recommended, and begrudgingly autoprobe for
a *SINGLE CARD ONLY* -- if you want to use multiple cards you *have* to 
supply an "io=0xNNN,0xQQQ,..." argument.
