General problems with 2.1.x

[Jordan Mendelson]

Attempting to compile the 1.03 driver into Linux 2.1.124 results in the
following errors:

Putting an #ifdef MODULE/#endif around the MODULE_* blocks fixes it. In
2.1.123, I get these error messages every time a socket is closed:

Oct  5 18:13:46 solid kernel: Socket destroy delayed (r=128 w=0)

And the version of eepro100.c that comes with 2.1.x will not work reliably
with my SMP machine (crashes, ifconfig down/up breaks it, etc). This card
is:
