You have identified a bug introduced by whoever converted the driver to
2.4, but you have the wrong fix.

This works around the obvious problem, but results in supporting on
MAX_UNITS-1 adapters.

A cleaner fix is
- 	static unsigned int fnd_cnt;
+ 	static unsigned int fnd_cnt = -1;
	long ioaddr;
	int flags = pci_clone_list[chip_idx].flags;

-	if (fnd_cnt++ == 0)
+	if (++fnd_cnt == 0)
		printk(KERN_INFO "%s" KERN_INFO "%s", version1, version2);
