   My problem is that NetBSD does not seem to recognize the fact that
   we have a SMC (WD) 8013EPC ethernet card plugged into the isa bus.

The 0.9 version of if_ed.c certainly had code to deal with the EPC.
Are you perchance using the (deprecated) `we' driver rather than `ed'?
And is the board at the I/O address and shared memory address that the
kernel is configured for?  (If it's one of the distribution kernels,
that information is in the INSTALL_NOTES file.)
