The original poster said he had the 2.2.8 CDs. The LINT info on ex0 is... well there is no comment on it.

But the only device for which 'EthernetExpress' popped up in the LINT kernel. Just making sure the original poster had the right bus. And a note for Paul, ex0 is part of the GENERIC kernel. You should be able to go into the configuration mode at startup and kill conflicts for the ex0 device and go from there. -- Crist J.
