The check in if_ethersubr.c has been brought in on 2002-11-14, so it
tooks about two months to detect the problem. ;-)  Since cardbus
couldn't detect these cards at all until a few days ago, this has
probably excluded a number of potential testers who simply remained
silent.

Committed.  (Accidentally to RELENG_5_0 first.)
