Well, the setup programs, which came with the cards, show the exactly
same settings kernel shows at the boot time (and dmesg(8) repeats).

To add some info -- ep-card holds the whole system after probing, until
you stick a plug into its TP-jack. I was told that, it is known for some
3COM cards to act like that under other OSes.

ix-card works fine now since I started to use the multi-pin connector
instead of TP one -- driver's bug, or I missed this in the doc somewhere?
