[netdrivers] sundance driver

[Peter Leurs]

Hi,

I have a D-Link DFE-580TX card with 4 interfaces.  I've managed to make
the card work with the sundance driver, but when there is a bit trafick
over the line, I get the following messages in my syslog:

I'm using the sundance driver included in the stock 2.4.20 kernel.  The
following messages appear on startup:

Can anyone help me with these error messages?
