Added Matteo to the CC list because he was working on this function as
well and I remembered something I wanted to tell him.

This function totally sucks.

This patch is useless because we will never use the brd->state in the
cases where we fail. We shouldn't be saving inconsistent crap into
dgnc_Board[] because that is barf inducing ugly even though it's not a
bug given that we don't use it.

Only do:

dgnc_Board[dgnc_NumBoards] = brd;

when the brd is fully configured at the end of the dgnc_found_board()
function.
