In either case(PCI/ISA), its the 'ed' driver.  In my experience, the
NE2000 driver uses ed0 and ed1 for ISA(exclusively?) and ed2 and ed3
for PCI(exclusively?).  To get my 2.2.5 boxen up with 2 PCI variants,
I needed to add two lies for ed0 *and* ed1 *without* any options set
for either.  The driver then lookes for PCI cards and finds them.
