I tried to fix this once, the problem is the BT946 (or at least my
vintage(s) of the PROM's report a PCI vendor code of 0xFFFF if the
BIOS jumpers (JP4/JP5) are set to anything other than ``System BIOS''.

If we can't get a valid vendor ID from the card, we can't do a PCI
probe on it :-(.  I have seen, and heard of machines that will work
with the board jumpered in ``System BIOS'' mode, and a valid vendor
ID is reported, but I don't have one of those MB here any more :-(.
