I just built a 4.2-RELEASE machine today using a pci linksys card that was picked up as a ed0. Here is the line for it in my kernel config: device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 irq 10 iomem 0xd8000 Here is how it is detected at boot: ed0: port 0x6100-0x611f irq 11 at device 11.0 on pci0. I don't know what kind of card you are using, but I have a ton of linksys cards here and some test machines, so if there is any way that I can help you out let me know.
