IMNSHO this is a bug, though...

Do a diff of the key 8390 interface routines in ne.c, and ne2k-pci.c. 
Ignoring the inb_p and outb_p differences, there are distinct advantages
to using ne2k-pci.c on with an NE2000 PCI board.

Since ne2k-pci.c supports all boards ne.c does, and includes some fixes
that ne.c does not, it seems like removing the PCI support in ne.c is a
bug fix change.

It looks like ne2k-pci.c does need a HZ scaling fixing from ne.c
though...
