This is why I couldn't start up the Ethernet card. The version of WD
I have installed is the WD8003E/A. 8-(
I also got many mails which indicate possible solutions and reasons to
my problem. And why I can't get the WD EtherCard info from "Test
the Computer" of the Reference Main Menu.

Many people mentioned edit /etc/conf/sdevice.d/wd to make sure correct
setting in it, for example, interrupt level, IO Base & Ram Base addresses.
I would like to get more help from you. Now I have another ethernet board
from 3Com. Unfortunately, there is no documentation of it. The board is
3Com EtherLink/MC, 1987 Copyright, 4233-02 REV A (I am not sure it is version
number). There is a barcode Z98233 MC on the back of the board.
One question is that INTERACTIVE UNIX (version 2.2) and TCP/IP (version 1.2)
support this board?
Another is which position of the jumper setting is for AUI Port Standard
Ethernet? I suppose there is only one jumper called J1 on the board.
Now the setting is
J1 A . [. .] B
Thanks lots,
