I have a ProNET p1100 Q-bus interface that I want to put on a uVAX II
running 4.3 UNIX. I am using the driver that comes with 4.3, which
works for the UNIBUS version of the interface. According to persons in
technical support at Proteon, the Q-bus and UNIBUS interfaces are the
same, and I should be able to use the same driver. 

Can anyone verify that this is indeed correct? The driver fails during
the configuring process (e.g. vvinit() called at ifconfig time) when
the board fails to pass the digital loopback test. UNIX is finding the
board at autoconf time, so I am sure that either the board is bad, or
the driver isn't 100% compatible.
