Oops! This means the on-board declaration ROM in your Ethernet card
doesn't have its MAC address in the sResource. Instead, it must be
hard-coded somewhere in the driver. You need to define
AE_OLD_GET_ENADDR to get the old behavior.
I'm Cc'ing this reply to Scott, to just let him know there's at least
a case where MAC address isn't in the sResource.
