[eepro100] Integrated Pro/100 on Intel D815EEA - serious problem

[Christoph Plattner]

Hello,
	I think the first answer you will get from the experts here, is:
Use the current version of the eepro driver from the server of Donald
Becker.
There is a version of this year !

I think, the board has a very new derivate of this chip, so update is a
good idea.
I have not analysed your stuff yet.

Cheers
	Christoph
