[PATCH re-sent] one more starfire net driver fix for 2.4.7pre6+

From: Ion Badulescu (ionut@cs.columbia.edu)
Date: Fri Jul 20 2001 - 01:57:22 EST


Hi,

This patch reverses the MII hunk from the previous patch (included in
2.4.7-pre6), which was apparently breaking some cards. It also fixes an
incorrect comment.

Please apply.

Thanks,
Ion
