The GENERIC kernel has support for ep, but it is strangely enough not
availble for setting. It is just not there. I do not understand why.
When I tried 3.5.1 it was available for adjustment, and then it work fine
when I set it to IRQ 10 and port 0x250. 4.3 thought it was 5 and 0x210
respectively

The 3COM program solved my problem. After turning of "plugg and play" and
setting what 4.3 expected (0x210 and 5, respectively) it works as it
should.
Thanks for help.
