The eeprom wasn't powered up.
Please take the 2.4.20 3c59x.c and place that into the 2.5 tree and confirm that it does the same thing (it will).
Then try disabling APCI and/or otherwise fiddling with your power management options (maybe in BIOS too).
One person has reported that turning off ACPI fixed this.
