Alphastation ethernet controller problems

Hi folks, I have an Alphastation 255 that was loaned to us for a
project. The onboard ethernet controller (built into the motherboard)
went south, so we got hold of a PCI tulip card to replace it. Although
the PCI card is recognized (as tu0) on boot, it doesn't seem to be
working. I'm told the PCI card came out of a working machine, so right
now I'm operationg on the assumption that the new card is good.

My questions: Do I need to disable the onboard controller in some way?
If so how? We didn't get any docs with this thing so I'm working in the
dark.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
