	Config:
		486DX/33 EISA (Zenith PC433DEh).
		8MB RAM, 400MB IDE
		ISOLAN Network card
		386BSD 0.1 (patchkit 0.2.3).

	When I use a model 4110-1 ISOLAN card I get "Isolink card failed
	to initialise".

	When I use a model 4141-1 ISOLAN card, it works well for a while
	and then after about 5 minutes constant use I get "is0 error:
	out of sync", followed by infinite "MISS" messages on the console.

	I have looked at /sys/i386/isa/if_is.c and it says it's for a
	model 4110-2 ISOLAN card... does anyone know if it *has* to be
	exactly this model ?

	Any help much appreciated.
