Got a cardbus card that's giving you bad ethernet addresses of the
form 00:80:00:80:00 or 80:00:80:00:80 that 'dc' recognizes?  If so,
you should try this patch.  It fixes them by doing autosizing of the
srom.  This code is ported from OpenBSD, but they got it (or the
technique) from NetBSD's tulip driver.  [email protected] told me ages
ago I needed to do this, but only in vague terms.

This turns the following cards in my collection into working cards:
	NetGear FA510
	Linksys PCMPC200
	Kingston KE-CB4TX (aka Fast EtheRx CardBus PC Card)

If you have a dc based card, please write me if you try this patch.
I'm interested in all the cases:
	working -> working
	working -> failed
	failed -> working
	failed -> failed	(unless you have a Xircom CardBus card)
