  Log:
  Work around a bug I've seen on Linksys EC2T cards.  For some reason,
  as yet unknown, those cards report their MAC address a byte at a time.
  However, other AX88x90 cards report the MAC address a word at a time.
  Add a heuristic which looks at the high order bytes of the first 6
  words.  If they are all '0', assume the card is behaving like the
  Linksys EC2T card.  Since the default prefix for these cards appears
  to be 00:e0:98, this appears to be a safe heuristic.  While some cards
  have been observed with different prefixes, they all work with this
  heuristic.
  
  I'm unsure if this is a bug in the EC2T card, or if it is a bug in the
  initialization of the card.  No other OS has this heuristic (although
  w/o it, the MAC address that is used works).
