Hiho.. While working on some code which tries to monitor physical link status
for ethernet interfaces, I noticed that apparently under the 2.4 kernel, the
eepro100 driver does not reflect link status with the IFF_RUNNING flag as it
used to under 2.2.x.
It looks like a bit of the code in eepro100

Look at the gcc compile string there.
Try to copy it closely.

When I boot up my home box, a Pentium III/933MHz with an i810 onboard disabled to make
way for a 3dfx Voodoo5 5500 PCI, two main problems occur if I boot my framebuffered

1024x768x32, and it r
The patch below fixes two problems in 2.4.7-pre9:
1. Updates drivers/ide/ide-tape.c for the sem->completion changes.
(It doesn't compile in -pre9 due to the changes in "struct request".)
2. Updates kernel/ksyms.c to export the new completion object functions.
Needed for modular drivers.
