PCI keyword (characters)

They use de0 not ed0 de0 is for the DEC ethernet cards (Dec Chipset)
PCI bus assigns the port and IO for the card which then in turn the 
kernel reads the information from the system at boot time. You will find 
that you have much better luck using de0 for most PCI Ethernet cards.
