Not 100% sure.  Maybe Wolfgang or someone else know what the existing 
m8260 pci functionality is suppose to work with.  It seems odd that it 
did not have some of the bits you added for the 8272ads.  Its not clear 
to me if it actually worked on any systems or not.  Let see if Wolfgang 
has any insight as a first step.
