Subject:   Still can't get ethernet cards going (HELP!)

Hi all:

I still can't get my 2 ne2000 working. The cards do get recognized at
bootup, but then whenever I try to assign an address to either of
them, I get "door /kernel: ed0: device timeout" message. Here's an
abstract from dmesg's output:

ed0 at 0x240-0x25f irq 3 on isa
ed0: address 00:80:c8:ec:0f:39, type NE2000 (16 bit) 
ed1 at 0x300-0x31f irq 5 on isa
ed1: address 52:54:4c:17:c9:5c, type NE2000 (16 bit) 
[...]
ed0: device timeout

Here's my kernel configuration (my goal was to make it as small as
possible):
