You may need to set your ethernet card's IRQ explicitly.
It's been a while, but I seem to recall that the default
didn't work well on some systems (in particular, mine).

I used (the system died years ago)

	ether0=type=3C589 irq=11 media=10BaseT

in plan9.ini.

Watch during bootup for a line beginning with "#l0:".

If that doesn't work, try adding

	pccard0=disabled

in plan9.ini to fall back to the old PCMCIA only driver
(by default we use the PCCARD+PCMCIA driver; maybe
it has a bug when dealing with your hardware).

During bootup, you should get a "#Y0:" line with
the PCCARD driver and a "#y0:" line with the
PCMCIA driver.
