Not for a nic without complete documentation: What if an arch uses

x86-64 doesn't, it uses 32-bit reads, but I don't like the idea of using 
memcpy to read registers.

I agree with your other remarks, updated patch attached.

Going through my pending folder, I was about to apply all the queued 
forcedeth patches.  However, in two cases, you violated Rule #6 of

Please resend ALL forcedeth patches, with proper descriptions, so I 
don't have to hunt through previous patch versions, and previous emails, 
to match up the correct description to the correct patch.
