Subject: 2.6.21-rc1: Ethernet card not detected correctly

My Ethernet card worked fine up through 2.6.20, but starting with 2.6.21-rc1,
I get the following:

Feb 22 23:27:39 gherkin kernel: natsemi dp8381x driver, version 2.1, Sept 11, 2006

(above two lines repeated until reboot)

Here's the 2.6.20 output for comparison:
