Yecch. I guess it's possible that the card is waitstating the system forever; what happens if you pull the card out in that state? > I take it that you tried removing the call to ed_probe_WD80x3() in order to > determine that the NE2000 probe fails? > > No, it's that defining TOSH_ETHER causes ed_probe_WD80x3 to not hang.
