Not bad, but what about a patch that notices the 0xffff address, and
assumes it won't find anything?

It does not access port 0xffff. It tries to say that it probed for hardware
and:
PP_addr=0xffff - inw(ioaddr + ADD_PORT) returned all foxes
eth0: incorrect signature 0xffff - inw(ioaddr + DATA_PORT) returned all foxes,
which is not known EISA id. Pretty cryptic :)

Maybe this patch?
