As far as I can tell, this happens if the i810 doesn't have the ac97
codec. Assuming that it really is an i810 card [1], you might have
better luck getting a response from the linux-kernel mailing list.
[1] You've explicitly put it in /etc/modules, so who knows! Note that I
don't have to explicitly add i810_audio to /etc/modules or
/etc/modutils/* for my laptop; instead the kernel works it out
automatically.

The eepro module needs at least an io argument to set the I/O base
address(es), and possibly an irq argument too. You can use 'options'
lines in /etc/modutils/* to set options that are always added when
probing named modules; see the modules.conf(5) man page and remember to
run update-modules after editing files in /etc/modutils.
If it's a PCI card, you might want eepro100 instead?
