there are some ne2000 clones which don't work as advertised and
should not do the dummy remote read, apparently you have such.
with dummyrr set the code is as described in the 8390 datsheet.

if you looked in ether2000.c you would see how to turn it off as
an option in plan9.ini

	ctlr->dummyrr = 1;
	for(i = 0; i < ether->nopt; i++){
		if(strcmp(ether->opt[i], "nodummyrr"))
			continue;
		ctlr->dummyrr = 0;
		break;
	}
