To follow-up on my own post, this was a Dumb User Error (tm).  The BIOS was set
for PnP for the Win98 that was previously on the box, and I hadn't switched it
off when installing 3.2-BETA.  The box is now running 3.2-RELEASE with three
10/100 cards installed and operating correctly.

However, the patches I sent for pci/if_de.c should still be considered, as they
at least help tell why a card isn't attach()ing!  For instance, I finally
thought to check the PnP after I plugged in a newer Kingston 10/100 card using
the PNIC (a Tulip clone) and saw similar failure messages from if_pn.c.
