Notebook / NIC strangeness

I got an old Notebook (Toshiba 220CS) from a friend with 4.6
pre-installed - he doesn't remember what exactly he did during the
installation. 

The 4.6-Kernel, which is GENERIC, according to the image
name, did recognize the NIC (surecom EP-427) just fine.  

I upgraded the base-system and kernel to 4.7-STABLE and can not get
the NIC to be recognized anymore with a new GENERIC Kernel. If I
revert back to the 4.6 Kernel and leave everything else as it is, the
card is recognized again.

Now I have no clue what to do.

Here's what's in the log for the card when booting the 4.6 Kernel:

ed1 at port 0x300-0x31f irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0
ed1: address 00:00:21:20:5a:55, type NE2000 (16 bit)
Dec 26 21:23:56 arthur pccardd[49]: ed1: TAMARACK (Ethernet) inserted.
Dec 26 21:24:01 arthur pccardd[49]: pccardd started

Thanks,
Kai
