Ok, it seems I'm going to be able to get this set of patches tested, so I 
doubt I'll have to resort to removing this driver. :)  (I did have to remove 
one for an old ISA NIC today because no one was able to test patches.)  The 
patches I have probably won't apply to 5.x, but likely do apply to HEAD and 
6.x.
