We've always been dumping the eeprom content (which doesn't mean that we
have to do it forever ;) ).
IIRC, the reason why we didn't dump the eeprom of the newer em2874+
devices up to now, that they are using 16bit eeproms and Devin thought
it was too dangerous to read them. ;)
It should also be mentioned, that we haven't decoded the meaning of this
eeprom type yet completely.

I don't care too much.
