Thanks.  Yes, that works for me too, modulo a couple of error
messages:

start (88000000) < sc->membase (e0200000)
end (ffffffff) > sc->memlimit (e02fffff)
start (88000000) < sc->membase (e0200000)
end (ffffffff) > sc->memlimit (e02fffff)
ed1: <AmbiCom AMB8002T> at port 0x300-0x31f irq 10 function 0 config 32 on pccard0
ed1: address 00:10:7a:98:22:ba, type NE2000 (16 bit) 

This is 5.0-RELEASE.  But now I can upgrade to -CURRENT, so I'll do
that first and ask questions later.
