I have an EEPROM with the sleep mode bit set, and I have been seeing
the card hang under high load.  Is the modified eepro100-diag.c
available somewhere?

Thanks.

  No interrupt sources are pending.
   The transmit unit state is 'Suspended'.
   The receive unit state is 'Ready'.
  This status is normal for an activated but idle interface.
 The Command register has an unprocessed command 0c00(?!).

 The EEPROM checksum is correct.
Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 EEPROM contents:
  Station address 00:02:A5:33:9A:E1.
  Board assembly 010630-001, Physical connectors present: RJ45
  Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1.
   Sleep mode is enabled.  This is not recommended.
   Under high load the card may not respond to
    PCI requests, and thus cause a master abort.
