This depends entirely on the kernel configuration.  I had a box with 2
of these, and they are ed0 and ed1.  Both worked perfectly.

Try this:

device ed0

no options, no nothing.  This will get everything you need for this card
to work.


I did have the same problem as the original poster, reseating the card did
the trick... I guess it just wasn't comfortable the first time.

If still no luck, try booting the generic kernel.  It has the appropriate
drivers as well.  The card will show up as either ed1 or 2.

And, as a final, last resort, try swapping out the card for another.
Could have a bad card on your hands.


laters,
