here is the version string from my linux tree...
static const char *version =
"eepro100.c:v1.09j-t 9/29/99 Donald Becker http://www.scyld.com/network/eepro100.html\n"
"eepro100.c: $Revision: 1.36 $ 2000/11/17 Modified by Andrey V. Savochkin <saw@saw.sw.com.sg> and others\n";
now i notice the other version number 1.09 which would make sense wrt the
doc i listed above. What is the origin of the 2 version strings, did
Savochkin fork the current kernel driver from your 1.09 source?
