It should work out of the box under -current (as of May 96 :)

Please send me VERBOSE boot messages (at least the lines dealing
with the PCI bus and its devices ...)

Please do NOT configure it as an ISA device with the PCI assigned port
numbers under -current. This will give strange results, if the kernel
also sees it in the PCI probe (and it really should).

The PCI NE2000 should be assigned the name ed1, if your kernel config
file contains "ed0 at isa?". You need the ISA definition of ed0, or 
the PCI probe will not be included. (Is this documented ???) 

If you use a generic kernel with both "ed0" and "ed1" configured, the
PCI cards would be "ed2", "ed3", ... (any number supported :).

Please make sure you have the ed0 config line in your kernel config 
file, and send me a verbose boot message log, if it still fails.
