Got a cardbus card that's giving you bad ethernet addresses of the
form 00:80:00:80:00 or 80:00:80:00:80 that 'dc' recognizes?  If so,
you should try this patch.  It fixes them by doing autosizing of the
srom.  This code is ported from OpenBSD, but they got it (or the
technique) from NetBSD's tulip driver.  [EMAIL PROTECTED] told me ages
ago I needed to do this, but only in vague terms.

This turns the following cards in my collection into working cards:
        NetGear FA510
        Linksys PCMPC200
        Kingston KE-CB4TX (aka Fast EtheRx CardBus PC Card)

If you have a dc based card, please write me if you try this patch.
I'm interested in all the cases:
        working -> working
        working -> failed
        failed -> working
        failed -> failed        (unless you have a Xircom CardBus card)
