Re: de4x5 driver still broken with non-dec 21140 boards

The problem is that I've implemented an autoselection routine rather
than have a fixed default speed (as in the driver for 1.3.71 which is
hard coded for 10Mb/s).

The general purpose register on the SMC cards will be wired up
differently from the DEC cards, thus creating a problem [ and is the
reason why I did not want to support cards I knew nothing
about/couldn't test in the first place].

If someone from SMC will give me their programming specs for their
cards and/or CSR12 register information I'll see what I can do.
Otherwise hard code 10Mb/s into CONFIG in the linux/drivers/net directory.
