Description rudi 2000-08-19 01:11:04 UTC 
It seems to me as if there is something wrong in how the Cardbus version of
epic100.c gets compiled when rebuilding 2.2.16-3.

Line 1351 of drivers/net/epic100.c (which is part of a block wrapped  by
"#ifdef MODULE") calls epic100_probe. epic100_probe is defined at line 100,
but it's wrapped by "#if !defined(CARDBUS)  && !defined(HAS_PCI_NETIF)".

So, when building epic_cb.o as a module, it can't call epic100_probe (hence
an unresolved symbol).
Comment 1 rudi 2000-08-19 01:14:11 UTC 
epic100_probe is defined at line 300, not 100.
Comment 2 Jeff Garzik 2002-12-23 17:22:33 UTC 
epic_cb not used anymore.
