I have attempted to help two people off-line trying to use these cards, and in both cases, they _never_ worked. These were on truly free IRQs (usually irq 3 with COM2 disabled in the BIOS and not even in the kernel config file). In both cases, replacing "device ed0 at isa?.." with just "device ed" really only was a cosmetic fix to change ed1 timeouts to ed0 timeouts. These cards just plain do not work as is. if_ed is also badly broken for the Linksys PCMP100. I can only get it to probe with the correct hardware ethernet address after adding in the hack to make the Linksys test always succeed (of course, this breaks the detection for my older Linksys E2CT card). However, the performance is abyssmal, not akin to a duplex mismatch (either that or if_ed is dropping beacoup packets). As a for instance, scp'ing the netscape tarball usually takes about 20+ seconds on a 10Mbit hub usinge either the EC2T or a 3Com 3c589D, but with 10/100 Linksys card I am seeing 2hours being reported by scp (CTRL-C is deployed long before this).
