Quite possibly the interrupt is set wrong. The ed driver will just
go ahead and say `I'm using IRQ 10'; if the card doesn't match,
you won't receive packets.

Another possibility is that this is an SMC card; these cards get
tromped on by the wd driver at the same address. If so, move it to
ed0 or ed1.
