It must be a slightly different package that you have--the box my card
came in clearly says SMC8432BT.

Anyway, I needed one more tweak to the driver to get my card working.
The ethernet address on this card wasn't in the place expected by the
driver.  I did see it in the debug output, so I was able to add this
kludge.  Matt, I'm sure there's a better way?  I can send driver output
pre-change if you need/want it.

I also added changes to differentiate the error return codes to make it
easier to tell what's crocked.

Is there a good way to force a particular media port?  I know what port
I have hooked to my home ethernet, and I'd rather not have to wait for
it to (slowly) figure out to use the thinwire/BNC port.
