I narrowed the one breaking MAC address probe :
    http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1231599+0+archive/2005/cvs-all/20050220.cvs-all

I tried to patch the driver myself and I found that you should not clear
pending interrupts before reading the MAC address or it won't work.

I didn't made a patch as I don't know if the correct way to handle this
is to pull up the ed_nic_outb() call from ed_probe_Novell_generic() to
ed_cbus_probe() or to move the ed_Novell_read_mac() call back in the
ed_probe_Novell_generic() function.
