Nearly the same happend to me with a Cayman GatorCard II. I am not able to
use the Ethernet Card for AppleTalk connections yet. I can only use the
TCP/IP over it and run AppleTalk through LocalTalk.

I informed Cayman about that problem and they are working on it and
hopefully turn up soon with a solution.

If you are interested to play around and try to find a solution for your
situation have a look at the file named elap which is in /etc/config.?. (I
don't know exact pathname by heart - I am at home and there I don't have
A/UX available...)

Hopefully Apple turns up with an interface which will be easier to support
by third party products under A/UX as well.
