 No, this is correctly incorrect. The FA-410TX is an ed0 card, but if you 
 read the code, there are a lot of quirks in if_ed.c to determine whether 
 the card's controller is NE-1000, NE-2000 or DLink. It may be true that 
 the FA-410TXC is a NE-1000 or NE-2000, but the FA-410TX has a DLink 
 controller.

 It worked quite well with 4.x. I'd love to show you the dmesg output, 
 but I don't have any connectivity or other convenient means of 
 transferring the file (my other machine does not have have a useable 
 floppy device...)
