Can't get MAC addr of an ed(4) adapter

Hi list,

a friend of mine just upgraded his box from 5.4 to CURRENT.  His
ed(4) network adapter used to work when running 5.4 as well as
Windows.  Now, the card is recognized (as ed1, not ed0, I still
wonder why since I can't see any resource conflict related message)
but it doesn't have a MAC address.  Note that the interface flags
are somewhat weird.  My friend tried to use an in-kernel driver as
well as the if_ed module, this is the same.  Defining ED_DEBUG
doesn't give more diagnostic about the problem.  We can still
assign a MAC address manually, although ATM I still haven't got any
chance to try if the card is really working, but I'll be able to
in a few hours.

I attached the dmesg of boot verbose.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
