Don't use PnP; I had problems with the Pro/10s and PnP.  The driver has
the code to send the PnP wakeup sequence but its currently disabled.

Use a fixed config with non-confliting resources.

Your kernel config should be just:

device	ex

You'll also want to set the port with the DOS config utility.  While the
driver displays media status and supported media I haven't yet figured out
how to select the media.
