I think your machine is pretty broken. It looks like that HP Lan card and
driver are stomping on the 2742T's I/O address. I say this because the card
is working fine through the SCSI bus scan, then the HP driver starts up,
then we get a BRKADRINT on the card, which means that the card was accessed
when it hadn't been paused, then when we go to look at the card, all three
of our hardware lists on that card have been stomped on. I think we have a
bad configuration here somewhere.
