a simple "vortex-diag -aev" does not find the card, so i have to
give the io-address...
and then vortex-diag says:

Assuming a 3Com Generic Vortex/Boomerag/Cyclone adapter at 0xa000.
The Vortex chip may be active, so FIFO registers will not be read.
To see all register values use the '-f' flag.
Initial window 0, registers values by window:
  Window 0: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 00bf ffff 0000.
  Window 1: FIFO FIFO 0700 0000 0000 007f 0000 2000.
  Window 2: ffff ffff ffff 0000 0000 0000 0052 4000.
  Window 3: c1c0 03fc 05ea 0000 017f 0800 0800 6000.
  Window 4: 0000 0000 0000 000c 0000 8080 0000 8000.
  Window 5: 1ffc 0000 0000 1ffc 0800 0000 0000 a000.

 Indication enable is 0000, interrupt enable is 0000.
 No interrupt sources are pending.
 Transceiver/media interfaces available:  100baseT4 100baseTx 100baseFx

Transceiver type in use:  undefined-15.
 MAC settings: half-duplex.
 Station address set to ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff.
 Configuration options 0052.
Saved EEPROM settings of a 3Com Vortex/Boomerang:
 3Com Node Address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF (used as a unique ID only).

  Vortex format checksum is incorrect (0000 vs. ffff).
  Cyclone format checksum is incorrect (00 vs. 0xff).
  Hurricane format checksum is incorrect (00 vs. 0xff).
