Here are some small, but in times important, "gotchas" in current
2.4.5-ac kernels.
When compiling SMP 'udelay' in current drivers/pci/quirks.c expands to:
__udelay((15), cpu_data[(current->processor)]...
and a type for 'current' is not known, at least on alpha, so
the following seems to be
A tulip driver 0.9.15-pre3, as included in 2.4.5-ac8, still does not

get a functional network.
Trying it with 'tulip_debug=3' option I see this:

I mentioned that before but this should be stated clearly. As far as I
am concerned "Linux Tulip driver version 0.9.15-pre2 (May 16, 2001)",
as used in 2.4.5 - and other kernels - is totally buggered. It comes up,

Patches to drivers/scsi/sg.c included in 2.4.4-ac17 require for
'sg.o' module to use 'simple_strtol' which is not exported in

using something like 'simple_strtoul' - which is already exported?
In either case patches are obvious.

This is the problem (a type for 'pdev' is not defined).
It looks like tha 8139too, at least in 2.2.19, works fine when there
is one such card around but with NICs it detects both but fails to
