I just realized I had this old patch for 2.2.17 and that in 2.2.19
series this problem is addressed correctly by Donald. Apologies to
him and sorry about the confusion. His or Ion's code from the starfire.c:

int __init starfire_probe(struct net_device *dev)
{
static int __initdata probed = 0;

if (probed)
return -ENODEV;
probed++;

return pci_module_init(&starfire_driver);
}

I think this is not the problem of the driver specifically but more of the
limitation of Space.c. I haven't yet found a clean way around it. I always
get "early initialization of device eth14 is deferred" messages.
