Stinks of an aliasing problem.
Maybe the code could do some alias detection...

Is this something to do with the recent changes to grope
for all phys?  Otherwise it the card would always have behaved
this way.

I don't remember searching the phy address space when I
wrote a driver for all the Xircom cards.  Just enough
to turn off FDX (to save having to detect it) and to
help differenciate between the RE-10 an RE-100 (which
have the same cis but are internally rather different!).
