	I had the same problem under both NetBSD and FreeBSD.  I had 
FreeBSD on a 386sx/16 and Net is on a 386dx/40.  Both cases I was running 
an NE1k (ed2 in NetBSD at least).  I trashed FreeBSD a while back, and 
when I got the same thing under Net (first install a few days ago), I 
decided it had to either do with a) 386 or b) NE1K.  I put in a 3c509 and 
everything ran, and is still running, smoothly.

	I've only been using NetBSD for a few days, though, so I don't 
know all that much about it, but am I right in thinking that irq is 
hardcoded into the driver?  If so, that could be my problem because it's 
listed differently in the kernel config for ed2.  Has anyone had success 
with an NE1k? (we've got a lot of them)
