The default installation kernels recognize your family of ethernet cards
at the following addresses:
ed0 at isa? port 0x280 iomem 0xd0000 irq 9 # WD/SMC, 3C503, and NE[12]000
ed1 at isa? port 0x250 iomem 0xd8000 irq 9 # ethernet cards
ed2 at isa? port 0x300 iomem 0xcc000 irq 10
So it looks like picking the values in the last line should work for you.
