I also have an Elite16 Combo (it's the 8013E with AUI, BNC, & UTP) and
see exactly the same symptoms.  No ideas yet, just another "me too!"...

This is in a system that's evolved from a 16 MHz 386SX through a 20 MHz
386DX to a 40 MHz 386DX.  Using a mono display, A1540, floppy, & serial.
The we device has never so far been detected on warm-boot.
