[eepro100] eepro100 driver (2.4 kernel) fails with S2080 Tomcati815t motherboard.

[Ben Greear]

Interestingly enough, when I manually set a MAC it seems to pass traffic,
at least at low speeds.  I'm about to crank it up a bit to see what
falls out :)

(Working fine at 10Mbps (about 4200 packets-per-second..)

It doesn't seem to...

  This status is normal for an activated but idle interface.

  The checksum is 0xFF00, it should be 0xBABA!

I wish it would have complained about me sending it eth3 then, so
I would have known!
