[eepro100] eepro100: wait_for_cmd_done timeout

Appears to be a well known error. I have tried various things
with no success. System works fine but I get the wait_for_cmd_done timeout
under heavy load (e.g. 100Mbps NFS copies).

I have tried compiling the drivers according to the instructions in "Network
Driver Updates for Linux kernels 1.20 through 2.4" but the insmod fails
with missing symbols.

Any suggestions. Does anyone have a solid build script for RedHat 7.2.

Does the current eepro100.c driver fix this problem if I can get it
to install?

Intel Hudson Server, 2 x onboard ports
Linux RedHat 7.2 2.4.9-21smp
