Hi,
Either IRQ/IO Address of Ethernet adapter or
You must try to force it into 10-BaseT mode (full or half duplex), most of
the DSL Router/adapters I've seen are locked at 10Mbps, your ethernet may
be at 100Mbps for some reason (a PCI adapter?)...
Take care,
Randy Katz
PS - man 4 ed gives you the blurb on it...
ed%d: device timeout Indicates that an expected transmitter interrupt
didn't occur. Usually caused by an interrupt conflict with another card
on the ISA bus.
