MTU: 1500
Interrupt: 3
Bass Address 0x300

Interrupt 3 is used by the serial/modem ports.  There might be a conflict
between either the modem or the serial port with the mouse attached (the
mouse is not working (yet)).  How would I change that.  I have used the
setup software that came with the card.  The software says that it is
going to use IO addr of 0x300 and irq of 11.

After I tried to do a ping ifconfig report errors on the TX side.

no it spits out one line
"PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1):56 data bytes"
then sits there until I do the ^c thing.
