[eepro100] Fwd: Compile-time problems with the newest eepro d river

[Estes, Matthew]

Donald,
I received similar errors when not compiling pci-scan into the kernel, and
instead trying to use it strictly as a module.  When I did an 'insmod
pci-scan', I am fairly certain it complained about these exact same
inresolved symbols (found in pci.a).  When pci-scan was compiled into the
kernel, I tried to insmod eepro100 and it complained about 3(?) undefined
pci-scan symbols that I found in 'nm -s net.a' but not in 'nm -s vmlinuz'.

I assumed that it did not link the pci-scan symbols because it found no
dependencies on them, but I'm new to this.

Regardless, now I believe I have it compiled into the kernel and load it as
a module (through that module dependecy file) and everything works fine...
except for Timed Out errors, but I'll address those in another thread.

So, does this fix you described address what I originally experienced as
well?

I'm using a Dell SMP 2x777 MHz, 1GB RAM, with PERC Raid Array, AIC7xxx
controllers, eepro100 driver version 1.11, and kernel version 2.2.16-4
(RedHat).

Thanks,
Matt

At the request of Linus, I switched to moving the kernel dependencies into
other files in July/August/September of 1999.  It took about six weeks to
convert and test all of the drivers, but when I was finished Linus ignored
my updates in favor of (broken!) patches from others.

The buglet is in pci-scan.c.  The modversions signatures were appended, even
when pci-scan.o was not a module.  It was fixed in v1.02 with the following
change:
