Here's what dmesg says: Ade> | le0 at 0x300-0x31f irq 5 maddr 0xd0000 msize 2048 on isa | le0: Ade> DE204-AB ethernet address 08:00:2b:93:3b:e7 I file a PR about this some time ago. If you re-configure the card to use more than 2K then the problem will go away. I had this problem consistently with a 2K setting and since reconfiguring the card (over 6 months ago) I've not seen it happen again. You'll have to use the dos configure disk you had with the card to change the card's settings.
