netxen: avoid undue board config check
Old code assumed board config version in the flash to be 1. When this will get changed by tools, driver just refuses to attach. This is unnecessary since driver does not have to parse board config structure directly (maintained by firmware). Signed-off-by: Dhananjay Phadke <dhananjay@netxen.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
