[tulip] unresolved symbols in tulip.o

[Jaap Versteegh @ Cas]

I've seen several people complain about this, but found no answers in the
mailing list archives.

I'm running SuSE 7.1 (2.2.18). and get the following unresolved symbols when
running "insmod tulip.o"
__global_cli
__global_save_flags
__global_restore_flags

I have the impression that the problem is SuSE related since a lot of the
people complaining about it are running SuSE....

Replacing the lines (in tulip.c):

save_flags(flags); cli();
by
spin_lock_irqsave(&tp->mii_lock, flags);

and

restore_flags(flags);
by
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&tp->mii_lock, flags);

solved the unresolved symbol problem and the driver is running now ! I have
no idea if it is an allowable replacement though. I got the idea from these
lines in kern_compat.h

#define spin_lock_irqsave(lock, flags) save_flags(flags); cli();
#define spin_unlock_irqrestore(lock, flags) restore_flags(flags);
