The 3com card uses IRQ 11.

I just tried it.  It didn't help:

	ed0 at port 0x300-0x31f irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0
	ed0: address 01:d1:ff:04:d1:ff, type NE2000 (16 bit) 

I tried changing the adress range:

	ed0 at port 0x240-0x25f irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0
	ed0: address 01:d1:ff:04:d1:ff, type NE2000 (16 bit) 

and obviously it didn't help.  Now, one obvious problem is:  well, your
DFE-650TX identifies itself as a "type Linksys"... and mine doesn't.  I'm
going to guess that is related to the problem.  From looking at
ed_get_Linksys(), it just gets some registers, and compares it to what the
linksys should be.  My assumption, then, is that... something is wrong about
the I/O port addresses it's using.  Unfortunately, my 3com card is using the
same base address:

	ep0: <3Com Etherlink III 3C589> at port 0x240-0x24f irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0

and it works correctly.

So I continue to be lost :(.
