IPCop doesn't detect ISA network cards, though it is possible to use
them.

Most ISA cards are 'NE2000 compatible'.  The 'tulip' driver supports DEC
2114x chipset 10/100 PCI cards.

First, use the DOS configuration utility that came with the NIC and set
it to "Software" rather than "Plug N' Pray". Then set the IRQ to 5 (for
example) and the IO Port to 300 (for example).

Then, logged in to IPCop as 'setup', choose Networking and reconfigure
the interface.  (I'm going on memory here)  Choose manual and enter 'ne
io=0x300'.  With some cards, I think you may have to use 'ne io=0x300
irq=5'.
