I had a similar problem, though it was with my ed0-compatible
pcmcia network card. At some point in the past pccardd stopped
assigning correct IRQ to it, wich resulted in famous `ed0
timeout' error. I've workarounded the problem by replacing `?'
with real IRQ number in my pccard.conf, however I understand that
it is only a temporarly solution.
