As I mentioned, I'm just msireading the code here.  I didn't see
anything that appeared PCI specific, and wasn't seeing my card work.
I'm no expert in either the PCI bus or this chipset - I was just
trying to get the laptop's internal ethernet running so it was of some
use to me.

I understand now that others use the driver with PCI cards.  I
understand I was wrong.
