You need to tell us what card you're using. :-)

The ed0 driver is for the following cards:

Western Digital and SMC 80xx
Novell NE1000 and NE2000
3Com 3C503

Note that cards which are described as NE2000-compatible are often not
NE2000 compatible at all -- they just have Windows drivers that allow
them to act like NE2000 cards.

Basically, you need to know what port and IRQ the card is configured
for. If it's a plug'n'play card that doesn't allow you to configure its
resources manually, you may be in trouble. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
