the floppy images downloaded from andrzej's web site or mine both have 
out of the box support for the ed and ep drivers. if you were to download 
the build scripts, you'd note that the ie driver has been commented out 
in the kernel config file. just rebuild it with the driver uncommented.

i've been using the ed driver on clone NE2000s for quite a while and 
there've been no problems to date. these machines are usually heavily 
loaded webservers and mailservers.
