Did this ethernet card work in an older kernel? The card type detection
in mac8390.c is partially based on guesses and just trying different
cards, as I remember. It's possible that it's detecting the wrong type,
particularly since it isn't finding all the NuBus ROM resources it is
expecting to be present on this card type. I suspect that it's not
accessing the card correctly. Both the error messages are that the
card isn't in a sane state based on what the driver tried to do.
Incidentally, "apple" is the default type for any card the driver
thinks it can use but can't identify with 100% certainty.
