Description of problem:
The e100 driver from the 2.4.20-2.2 kernel does not load against the onboard
"Intel Ethernet Pro 100". It fails with

Jan 14 12:29:17 lxcert03 kernel: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Driver - version 2.1.24-k1
Jan 14 12:29:17 lxcert03 kernel: Copyright (c) 2002 Intel Corporation

Jan 14 12:29:17 lxcert03 kernel: e100: hw init failed

The "eepro100" driver works fine.

Can you test the Red Hat errata release candidate, available at
     http://people.redhat.com/jgarzik/pub/

If you have Red Hat 8.0, use kernel 2.4.18-23.8.0.

If you have Red Hat 7.x, use kernel 2.4.18-23.7.x.

Please let us know if this does, or does not, fix the problem.
Comment 2 Jan Iven 2003-01-31 11:44:03 UTC 
2.4.18-23.8.0 seems to fix it, device is up and reports no errors. Small test
using FTP works fine.

Thanks
Jan
