Offhand, it sounds as if the plugging on the Ethernet adapter is set
differently from the specification in the devices command.  Check out the
values set by devices by issuing:
  showdev adapt net0
from within devices and printing the results.  Compare the rsa and il1
fields to the interrupt level and starting address on the card.  Note that
rea, brsa, and brea must be consecutive to rsa.

Hope this helps.
