I have an Ether-16CT (that's 10 base t + BNC thin) card set on 0x300
and irq 15, and I let the kernel auto-detect it and it works fine (note that
I have the boot prom disabled too):

8390.c:v0.99-10 5/28/93 for 0.99.6+ Donald Becker (becker@super.org)
8390 ethercard probe at 0x300: 00 40 05 2d 73 9e
eth0: NE2000 found, using IRQ 15.

No problems at all (this is with .99p11 also).
