... I thought I should explicitly mention that merging this particular
change as it stands is a bad idea because PNIC and Davicom cards (at least)
are not yet correctly handled.  The code in -stable is the old broken but
apparently harmless code.  This new code is attempting to be more correct
but breaks support for some cards.  Odd situation, no?
