First, make sure you have

	ether0=type=EC2T

in your plan9.ini.  It shouldn't be strictly
necessary, but let's debug one thing at a time.

One possibility is that the PC Card driver isn't
doing the right thing, and you'd be better off
with the PCMCIA driver.  Try

	pccard0=disabled

in plan9.ini to disable the PC Card driver.  The #Y0
line should change to #y0 on boot.

Assuming things still aren't working, see if you
can find out which I/O ports your ethernet card uses
in some other operating system.  I think the problem
is that both the PC Card controller and the ether
card want to use port 0x300, and when the ether can't
register that port, it simply gives up.

If things still aren't working, try using

	ether0=type=EC2T port=0x320
