I had a similar problem a loooong time ago. The ed driver probes for various different cards - WD80x3, 3Com and Novell - and the probing for one of the others screwed up my NE2000 clone. The solution was to edit the driver to not probe for the cards I didn't have. If this *is* the problem, it might be worth adding flags to control which probes are done. -- Richard -- No purchase necessary. See pack for details.
