More eth devs than eepro100 NIC

[Michael Pruznick]

I'm running on a 2.2.12 kernel and when I build the driver
as a module I get eth0 and eth1 only, as expected.  When I
build it into the kernel I get all these extra devs.  I need
to mount my root fs via nfs and these extra dev seam to
kill the kernel in DHCP autoconfig.  I see the same problem
with 2.2.14.  I removed the structs for eth2 to eth7 from 
Space.c and now I only get eth0 and eth1 and kernel autoconfig
works and I can mount my root via nfs (eth0) and run data over
eth1. 

Is this a known problem?  Is there an existing/better fix?

Thanks,
Michael

This output actually comes from a test fix I was trying that
didn't work.  In the "unmodified" driver all the even eth devs
were clones of eth0.  Likewise for eth1 and the odds.
