Subjectvia-rhine patch
The via-rhine network driver (as well as other network drivers derived
from the same driver skeleton) has a bug in its io memory probing. The
only impact seems to be that the driver cannot be loaded if the memory
directly following the network card's memory has been allocated before.

This is trigered on one of my computers by a second via-rhine-card: One
card works perfectly, but the other one cannot be initialized.

The following patch is based on a patch written by me and slightly
modified by the drivers author, Donald Becker. He has this patch for
two months and has integrated it into the via-rhine.c on his web page.
I don't know why it didn't get integrated into the official kernel.
