PROBLEM: 3C905/2.2.15pre11 everything but working

This actually appears to be the same type of problem I had, where the bus
mastering wasn't getting handled properly.  Eventually I ended up giving up
and using an Intel EtherExpress Pro 100+ instead; I wasn't ever able to get
it working.

Done.  I tried it with no options and with options=1 and got the log
entries which follow.

In each case, I installed the module, ifconfig'ed, added a route, tried
one ping, then de-ifconfig'ed, and removed the module.
