This is normal -- you already have the miibus device compiled into your
kernel for another ethernet device and the ed driver depends on the miibus
module since it needs it. Error 17 means the necessary code is already
loaded.

If the message bothers you, either:

1. recompile your kernel, adding 'device ed' so you don't have to
load the
module in the first place.

or

2. recompile your kernel, removing 'device miibus' and all ethernet
devices that depend on it. Then when ed loads it will also successfully
load miibus.
