Hm, sounds like the driver has been configured at a different IRQ than
the card itself. Take a look in the kernel config file at which irq
ed2 is set, and match your card to use that irq. Or use ed0 or ed1, if
you don't want to recompile and the irqs/addresses they use are ok
for you with regard to other cards in your system (i386 I presume).
