Well the answer is that you do it EXACTLY the same way as you would with
an ISA ethernet card.

Put the card in the slot, run the diagnostic software that came with
the card to find out what address and interupt the card is using.
Mine uses INT 11 and address FCE0H

Write a new net.cfg
Link Driver NE2000
        PORT FCE0
        INT 11
        FRAME Ethernet_II
        PROTOCOL BPQ 8FF ETHERNET_II

Ammend BPQCFG.TXT for extra port

PORT
    TYPE=EXTERNAL
    PROTOCOL=KISS
    INTLEVEL=125
everything else as per usual
ENDPORT

Ammend your autoexec.bat to include the following before BPQCODE
LSL
NE2000
IPXODI
ODIDRV 125

That is the exact setup that I use here at GB7DBY

Using BPQ408 (not a) and DOSFBB

I hope this helps,
