[eepro100] Need Serious Help w/ eepro100 Driver/card

[Infinity2]

Ok.  Please forgive my ignorance.  I see that there is a patch for the
eepro100.c file.  Can anyone give me a little help as how to use it?  Also,
with the patch, do I no longer need the pci-scan files?  A little
description of how to go about this would be helpful.  Thanks in advance.
