[eepro100] problem getting eepro100 driver to work

[Alvin Oga]

hi mike...

build your own kernel....and own modules....
dont use the redhat defaults

if you use linux-2.4.0-test10....it works flawlessly in the tests
i haphazardly checked...
	dont bother with rh-7.0 and linux-2.2.17...
	(cant make(link) its kernel )

have fun
