I added a corrected fix (only do the mdio_read() when the board has a MII
transceiver!), along with the low-memory fix.
v1.05 is available from
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/test/eepro100.c
Since this is a quick release (it has only had an hour of testing here),
this version doesn't include the adaptive multicast filter list code that
I've been working on.
The mdio_read() shouldn't do anything, but I'm guessing the transceiver on
that board version does not recover from a reset unless the control register
is read. The transceiver reset was added a few versions ago to recover from
certain link partners hanging, so earlier driver versions likely did not
encounter this problem.
