In OF, what does 

.properties

give you for the ethernet card's node? With a beige G3 you should be
able to use the serial port A (modem) for session capture.

According to
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/arch/macppc/pci/pci_machdep.c?rev=1.20.6.3&content-type=text/plain

this message comes from OF not being able to initialize the card and has
assigned either a 0 or a 255 for the IRQ. The .properties printout could
show how much PCI info OF was able to extract. Whatever OF can't do on
its own will likely have to be done at the driver.
