I try to access the net; eth0 doesn't exist anymore. dmesg tells me:

Here's what lspci thinks of my device:

Interestingly, under 2.6.27 it reads thus:

The I/O memory has moved, I have no idea why. I assume that's a feature?

So...what else can I do to help track this one down?

What's in /proc/iomem? Full dmesg output from boot would also be useful.
