    Wrong addresses should better be completely rejected (currently we warn only) !

    For better diagnosis the module parameters should be reported verbosely!

    Many users and distributions set these parameters without any clue due to lack
    of PNPBIOS support in linux (up to 2.4.5, but see -ac series).
