SMC made an EISA 10Mb ethernet adapter called the Elite32C Ultra.

It has an UltraChip 83C790QF which I believe is the same used on the
ISA bus Elite16 Ultra card (the one recommended as Jordan's pick for
10Mb ethernet cards).

The EISA card also has an EISA Bus Master 83C571QF chip.

Will the EISA card work with the "ed" driver since it is in the same
family as the Elite16 Ultra (8216), or does 32-bit EISA busmastering
create incompatibilties?
