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

[Infinity2]

ah ha!  that's the piece i was missing.  the eepro100.c file on your site IS
patched.  now i just have to figure out how to recompile a kernel.  wish me
luck (and any pointers too?...)

I may get back to you on the fans, or I may just devise some other way to
move air around in there.

Thanks for all the help!1

Rob
