Subject: [NetBSD-0.9] Possible problem with if_ed driver

I'm using NetBSD 0.9 with an SMC Elite 16T and the ed0 driver.
The "device ed0" line reads as follows:
device ed0 at isa? port 0x240 net irq 10 iomem 0xcc000 vector edintr
When my machine boots, the if_ed driver registers like this:
Sep 12 19:49:04 mudos /netbsd: ed0 at 0x240-0x25f irq 10 maddr 0xcc000-0xcdfff on isa
Sep 12 19:49:04 mudos /netbsd: ed0: address 00:00:c0:93:78:5a, type unknown (8bit)
The second line is the one I'm concerned about; it appears as if
the driver isn't correctly recognizing the card type, and so is only
using 8K of RAM and running the card in 8-bit mode. The card
appears to work fine, but what's going on here?
