Hi,

I think I´ve found some error in pre16, but I´m not a kernel-hacker so I
dont know how to find out whats going on.

I have 2 netcards in my machine a tulip, and a ne2k both PCI. When using
pre16 I cant seem to make tulip eth0 (I´ve tried a dusin lilo-confs), but
no matter what I do the ne2k gets eth0. This has never been a problem
using <=2.0.33. But it´s there both with RH51 std. kernel, and my clean
patched 2.0.33->2.0.34pre16. My lilo.conf contains this line:

append = "ether=0,0x6400,eth0 ether=0,0x6600,eth1"

When using some kind of 2.0.34 I get this: (this is wrong)

ne2k-pci.c:v0.99L 2/7/98 D. Becker/P. Gortmaker
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/ne2k-pci.html

eth1: MII transceiver found at MDIO address 1, config 1000 status 782d.
eth1: Advertising 01e1 on PHY 1, previously advertising 01e1.

When using <=2.0.33 I get this (same lilo.conf) (this is ok)

tulip.c:v0.79 9/3/97 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov
eth0: DEC DS21140 Tulip at 0x6400, 00 00 e8 3f 76 d7, IRQ 5.
