Hmn, what kernel was that?  Late last night I tried the most
recent -current snapshot (second 1.5X snapshot), and it
recognised my card correctly as ne0; the previous snapshot
(only a month before) didn't.  The one that did find it,
however, produced a kernel panic as soon as I tried to use
it (I can reproduce it if anybody's interested).  Note that
I was using a DE-660+, which produces a different ID from
the DE-660, and was only added in June; I assume they're
fairly similar inside, though.

It looks, from a quick check of CVS around June in
dev/pcmcia/if_ne_pcmcia.c and friends (and also from some
PRs submitted against this card on /amiga) like all that's
required to make it find ne0 correctly is a small change to
the driver database, no change to the actual driver code.
The laptop in question is quite old (486 8MB) so I will
probably try patching a stable (1.5.2) in this way soon.
