Yup.  Happens for me too.  I use MS-DOS v6.22 and Win 3.1  It happens with both
NDIS and ODI drivers.  I have disabled PnP on the card, so that's not it.  And
the occurence is absolutely dependable.  Every time.  Cold boots are fine,
second warm boot gets it, but first warm boot from DOS fails to find ep0

As you say, not a huge problem, more of an annoyance, so unless one of us that
is aflicted can spend the time to sort it out it's probably low on the priority
list.  One solution:  Don't boot any other OS :-)
