smc9432btx problems

Again me.

I looked back in the archives and found a workaround

here is the diff -u from Andreas Steinmetz (ast@domdv.de) (Mar 04 1999) again.
It also works against the 1.07h source.

But on my specific system (Pentium 200 MMX) the modified driver works only 
if I load the module with debug infos (insmod epic100 debug=6)

So I recompiled this module with only -O1 optimizations (instead of -O2) ...

my compile string:

/usr/src/linux/drivers/net # gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall 
  -Wstrict-prototypes -O1 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-strength-reduce 
  -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=586 
  -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h 
  -c -o epic100.o epic100.c

now it seems to work without debug infos.

perhaps someone deeper involved will find this information useful.

BTW my compiler was:

ws2:~ # gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.3/specs
gcc version 2.7.2.3
