'----]

Not really. I was also confused by this behaviour. I have a Realtek
PCI card, which is a NE2000 clone. And putting 'device ed' in my
kernel config does not work. 
However I have no problem when using 'device ed0 at isa? ...'

I don't remember where I read about this, but it was mentioned
somewhere (perhaps in the mailing list archives?)
