While never having used the Easy I/O 8, but having successfully used
both the Easy Connection 8/32 and 8/64. I didn't have much difficulty
with it. One thing to check is that the jumper configuration matches
the settings in the /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/stallion.c file. These
files only probe certain addresses, if your card is jumpered for a
different address it doesn't get seen. Also make sure you don't have
another card (AST 4 port for example) that uses the IO base address
you have jumpered the stallion for.

Cheers.
