eepro100 1.0.3 patch

[Mr. James W. Laferriere]

	Hello Linus ,  Ask your remote fingers (if get a chance) to
	look at the link state of the adapter after ifconfig in rc.d
	area if the link state light is OFF then get Mr. Beckers
	mii-diag.c & compile it up like shown at the bottom of the
	file & see if this doesn't bring the link state back ON .
				Hth,  JimL
