"Fix" in 2.3.13-7 for ne2k-pci.c causes OOPS on boot

I've got a RealTek 8029 card, in my UP PPro (actually the card is not
currently used.) However, the one-line fix to ne2k-pci.c apparently
isn't enough:

- pci_ioaddr = pdev->base_address[0] &
PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_IO_MASK;
+ pci_ioaddr = pdev->resource[0].start;

It seems like that should work... but apparently it doesn't. Maybe it
only worked before because I didn't actually USE the card.

The oops happened before anything got printed out, but removing the ne2k
from the config fixed it. Here is the oops (by hand):

? pci_probes ne2k_pci_probe ioport_resource
Stack: c0003b20 c01c8c10 c01c72c2 c01aaf6b0
EIP: c0117cbb (release_resource)

init kernel_thread
call trace: c0106097 c0107978

Wierdly enough, pci_probes is an array, not a function, and
ioport_resource is a structure.
