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

[Alvin Oga]

hi ya "infinity2"

if ya have not compiled oyur kernel....geez.... 

lets try something/simple and silly...

#
# compile just the eepro100.c
#	- you might need to install a virgin linux-kernel
#	in which case....read the kernel howtos
#
cd /usr/src/linux-2.2.14/drivers/net
mv eepro100.c eepro100.2.2.14.c
cp my_patched_eepro100.c eepro100.c
gcc -O2 -Wall eepro100.c
#
# save redhat's default version..
#
mv /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/net/eepro100.o
   /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/net/eepro100.xx.o
#
# use the new eepro100 driver/module
# 
cp eepro100.o  /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/net/eepro100.o 

reboot and see what happens -- if the bootup sees
the eepro card/nic

c ya
