Description AnarCat 2001-08-28 16:50:00 UTC 
The ed(4) manpage documents the ed0: device timeout diagnosis as a
possible interrupt conflict with another device on the ISA bus. There
might be other causes. Old ISA NICs are known to be configurable with
proprietary interfaces. For example, the nic I have here works fine on
windows, and I can change it's irq there (even if it's not plug and
play), but when I go back to fbsd, the case is *recognized* but I cannot
use it.

Fix: Patch to the ed.4 manpage:
How-To-Repeat: 
N/A.
