Really?
root@magnesium:~# dmesg | grep ed1
ed1: <NE2000 PCI Ethernet (RealTek 8029)> rev 0x00 int a irq 11 on pci0.12.0
ed1: address 00:e0:7d:81:87:27, type NE2000 (16 bit)
Maybe it was designed to be an ISA driver, but it certainly supports this
PCI card.

If the ed driver works, why should I change? If the rl driver is faster,
that's a good enough reason (provided CPU utilization doesn't also go
through the roof). I may try rl though, and compare speeds.
