	To reply to my last post: no joy.  I tried no kernel config,
	just selected  irq3 and the Default card addr of 0x0000.
	The installation floppies recognized the card and said it
	was initializing things, but same results:  I would up
	with only slip and ppp choices.

	I tried the full-screen intall option next.  Xircon ("xe")
	was't among the drivers in the Network list.  Is there a 
	way of installing the xe driver from floppy?   

	Or... ?

	thanks,

	gary
