The ed driver in 2.0.5R has some (silly) behavior I need to work
around. I've got a slew of the NE2000/WD8013EBT clone cards
that *used* to work fine in in WD8013 mode in 2.0R, but don't
work this way on 2.0.5R. If I try to set the I/O address,
IRQ, and IOMEM address, the ed driver resets the cards into
NE2000 mode. If I try the -1 userconfig value, the driver
cheerfully tells me that WD8013 cards dont support sniffing
the IRQ values. Catch 22.
I can install using the ne2000 mode of the card, but I really
need to operate these cards in WD8013 mode for lots of reasons.
How can I make this happen?
