OK, you have a failure of some sort.
You can read the configuration EEPROM, but the chip can't operate on the bus.
It appears that the card isn't enabled as a bus master, or the modified
driver you are using isn't initializing the chip correctly.

It's not an IRQ problem.

Try my driver release -- it might provide a better error message, or
just fix the problem.
