I think that might be the 595.. Have you tried modprobing the modules in
/lib/moduels/<kernel version>/net?

Oh, ok, you're looking at two different things.  That FF00 or whatever is
the memory range, and th 280 is the base IO port.  

modprobe <blah> irq=7 io=0x280

I'm not sure how you throw in the mem range, but I don't think you even
have to.  With PCI stuff, you shouldn't have to specify any of it,
actually.  Just pick the right driver and modprobe it.
