The "io" symbol used to exist, but doesn't any more.

Yes. You have to use the DOS utility 3c5x9cfg.exe to set the IRQ and
I/O base of the card (and disable PnP). The "irq" and (now defunct)
"io" parameters simply tell the driver which values the card is using,
they don't actually make the card use those values.
