I've got a ISA 3c509 in my AXPpci33 that I'm attempting to make
work. The elink3 driver works fine for a PCI 3c905, so I'm assuming
I have some sort of ISA configuration problem here.

I've done the isacfg thing to set the slot, irq and io address of the card:

However, you'll note that it's not enabled. I can't seem to enable
it, in fact; using -enadev 1 just gives me a printout of the device
parameters (as if the -enadev 1 argument weren't supplied at all)
rather than making the change:

    >>>isacfg -slot 4 -dev 0 -enadev 1

I booted up anyway, and the card gets probed ok and I can ifconfig
it up.  However, when I try to ping another host, on a third host
running tcpdump I see the arp packet go out onto the wire, an arp
reply from the other host go out onto the wire, and that's it. The
alpha never seems to receive the reply to the arp, nor does it
appear to arp again.

Any thoughts on how to fix this? It would be nice to remove the
`untested' for this ISA device from the kernel config.
