OK, but why would the MAC address show as all ones?  And why would the
I/O space be at a different address than when I boot a working setup?
This sounds to me like a problem with the I/O space itself...  Or am I
confused?

The driver is definitely trying to enable it; the first message I get
when loading the driver is:

  PCI: Enabling device 00:03.0 (0000 -> 0003)

...which should be enabling the I/O and memory resources, if I am
reading pci-i386.c right.
