Does it look like the kernel recognizes your card?  (Does it print out
an "ed8 at isa0 port 0x300 irq 10" line at boot time, or something?
You can use "dmesg" to repeat the boot messages.)

It's set in /etc/hostname.ed8 (or .ed5, maybe, if that's the device
the installation disk found).  I'm not sure what "link" would mean;
normally, "link0", "link1", and "link2" are flags which can be set or
unset to determine which network connector (UTP, AUI, BNC) to use on
your card.
