Hi Bruce, thanks for your quick reply. > These cards are real mongrels. I had one about 7 years ago. Horrible. > Highly recommend getting rid of it. PCI Realtek 10Mbps, yes? Know them, > hate them.

With this trick, ed1 is probed as ed0, even if the driver is a module. > Try recompiling with 'makeoptions ED_DEBUG' in the kernel config file > and see what it turns up. As I stated in my first mail, I already tried this and this gave no more diagnostic messages, unfortunately. It seems that the ed(4) driver from 2005.01.01 are working well. There have been numerous commits since then, but I'm trying to find the culprit ATM. I'll keep list abreast of the results.
