eepro100 users,
If you can spare some time, please test and compare 2.4.17 and
2.4.18-rc3 kernel versions, for (a) regressions in performance/behavior,
and (b) -fixed- or improved behavior.
Feedback and further testing sought.
Regards,
Jeff

Just glancing over the code - shouldnt it use pci_enable device before
checking the regions its assigned ?
Also it seems to include linux/delay.h twice
