I seem to be having a driver issue with acenic Gb adapters on 2.5.47. Out of
four adapters, usually one, but sometimes two of the four adapters are
initialized upon 'insmod acenic':

eth1: Firmware up and running

It appears the first three cards do not get the firmware up and running, while
the fourth one does, and is assigned eth1. I swear I have seen this before,
but can't remember what the problem was. Anybody know? Also, an oops on
rmmod:
