[eepro100] Intel D815EEAL + RH7 + newest eepro100.c = eth0, eth1, eth2... eth7 all initialize?

Please CC danb@cyclonecomputers.com, since I'm not subscribed.

When I compile the newest eepro100.c into my kernel on a RH7 system
(yes, with pci-scan.[ch] and kern_compat.h, and using kgcc), and I
boot the new kernel, for some reason it shows 8 ethX devices:  eth0
through eth7.  Even though all I have is the single onboard NIC that
comes with the D815EEAL motherboard.  eth0 initializes fine (and works
after bootup), but the rest of them go through a long process of
DHCP/RARP requests and timeouts that take up bootup time, and dirty
the boot log.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
