Yes, the PCI and EISA probes were moved ahead of the ISA probes
so that PCI/EISA devices that have an ISA compatibility mode would
be found by the "safer" PCI/EISA probes first.  It seems that we have
some kind of dependancy on the old probe order that is not immediately
obvious.  The 3Com cards seem to exacerbate this issue.  Does anyone
have any ideas on this one?  I don't have a PCI system to test on at
the moment, but the only thing that the ep driver does that looks 
funny is its manipulation of port 0x100.  I haven't looked at the
590 driver yet.
