Sounds like the IRQ or port is not getting set right.  Are you 
sure setting it correctly with the -c?  What type of card is it and
how did you initially set the IRQ and port of the card? 

Does a lsdev show ed1?

To get my NE2000 clone to work I had to set the irq & port on the
card via some DOS software and use the -c option to config the 
kernel.
