Did this ethernet card work in an older kernel? The card type detection
in mac8390.c is partially based on guesses and just trying different
cards, as I remember. It's possible that it's detecting the wrong type,
particularly since it isn't finding all the NuBus ROM resources it is
expecting to be present on this card type. I suspect that it's not
accessing the card correctly. Both the error messages are that the
card isn't in a sane state based on what the driver tried to do.
maybe I did not express myself clearly: in 2.6.29 the card doesn't work
and I typed the error message manually,
I then rebooted into 2.6.26, where the card still worked, and pasted
its dmesg.
