- Have you tried this with a kernel >= 0.98.6?? I believe that
- this was fixed in the new scsi drivers (the problem was that the ultrastore
- driver mistook the NE2000 card for an ultrastore card). I fixed it so that
- the ultrastore driver no longer probes address 0x310 which is apparently the
- one that gives a conflict with the NE2000.
