Here's a patch to drivers/net/yellowfin.c, against Linux 2.4.18-pre7.
I'd send you the bk style patches, but I'm using the linuxppc tree at
the moment. Here's the next best thing, a bk generated diff.
Note: If you have a yellowfin, PLEASE test this driver and let me know
if it still works for you. I can only test it on the Symbios card.
ChangeSet comments extracted below:
Check for a truly oversized ethernet frame before complaining about
it. Also, fix a theoretical bug on the gigabit card by adding
DontUseEeprom to its flags (returns the driver to LK1.1.3 behavior).

Thanks, applied to 2.4 and 2.5.
