I just had a friend trying to install a laptop with a pccard ethernet card that was probing as ed1. We were getting the "ed1 device timeout" messages ... and I justed chalked it up to flakey pccard support until now. We did doubly and triply verify the interupt. It was probing as IRQ 3 and was refusing to take an interupt more than 7. IRQ 3 was free (sio1 didn't probe as present) ... and this wasn't working.
