lock-up problems with eepro100 1.06

Tue Apr 13 13:44:05 1999

Hi everyone,

I'm having some trouble getting the latest version of the eepro100
driver (1.06) working on my system.  I had been successfully using the
driver under Linux 2.0.34 (with eepro 0.99b) for some time, but when I
tried to upgrade to Linux 2.2.5, I was forced to move to a newer version
of the driver.  Unfortunately, I am now running into a hard lock-up
problem.

I don't know for sure if this is an eepro100 problem, but it looks like
it based on the location of the crash.  In particular, the machine boots
okay, but everything freezes as soon as I try to "ifconfig eth0" with my
card's address, broadcast and netmask information.  I can't type or
switch to another console, and the only way out is to reboot the entire
machine.

Any ideas?  I have tried running the diagnostics programs to no avail.

dmesg reports this:
