[eepro100] VAIO PCG-z505JS

[Giovanni Vigna]

Folks,

	Sorry to disturb you but I really cannot find the information I need.
I have a VAIO PCG-Z505JS w/ Linux 7.0

Somtimes the eepro driver does not start correctly and I have to reboot
(sometimes a couple of times to get it to work)

Maybe this is one of those "God, did you read the posting of last week"-questions,
but I cannot really find a solution by myself.

Thanks
